Xy Rapid moves

[chiller]

Is there a setting that will allow mastercam to show my rapid moves to where it satisfies the 45deg move first instead of point to point rapids?

[Jayson Kramer]

Are you getting dog leg movements and want to stop this?

[chiller]

Does not display dog legs moves. It show straight point to point. I want dog leg moves to show.

Thank You

no there is no way to back plot dogleg rapids in Mastercam

Every machines kinematics can be different, there's no way any CAM software including Mastercam can accurate display dogleg moves

It's also possible(if your machine supports it efficiently)to have the linearize rapid parameter turned on.

 

Some machines do not handle it well at all, but some do and lose little if any time in linearized rapid motion versus dogleg motion.

 

Another option is to output G1 @ max feedrate instead of G0. I would only advise doing this on machines where the max feedrate and rapid rates are equal though.

Support for dogleg rapid moves has been added to Verify for X7. It now recognizes the configuration switch in Control Definition.

Cool

Thats very cool. Not having that feature has gotten me a few times.
