filter Start, End Extension

[kennebec]

This is a bit trivial but I find myself deleting in my editor the Start Extension, X or Y line and Just leave the End Extension.

 

I typically select a contour, rather than drawing more geometry I will use the Start End Extension (.1) to avoid plunging into material.

Cut this 2.0 long face on Y0.

Rapid to X1.1(.1 Start Extension)Y-.25(1/4 Leadin Perpendicular)

X1.(I delete this Line)

X-1.(I delete this line)

X-1.1(.1End Extension)

G40Y-.25

G0Z

 

Also for machining other than 2d type contours do you have to draw the tool and holder as the tool to verify the holder?

If I understand this correctly, you want to filter your NC code to eliminate intermediate blocks on a linear move? This can be done, but would require using a buffer file in the post processor. If you do this a lot, then the custom post features would be worthwhile.
