Change at point modal in X9?

[SlaveCam]

In X8, change at point (feedrate) seems to apply only to a single element, whereas in X9 the feedrate stays on for the rest of the toolpath. Is there some setting to make it back non-modal?

Yup. Look at the yellow icon within the CAP dialog. Look at the one you have selected then choose the other one.

What yellow icon?

For drilling CAP use 1st picture "untitled"

For contour use "toolpath editor" instead of CAP pic "untitled2"

Thanks for the reply.

 

I can't use toolpath editor because it does not work with depth cuts. Just wondering why there is no "modal" option in CAP...

Sorry, I meant that when using depth cuts, I'd have to manually enter the value 100 times for each depth of cut. Not very practical. CAP works for each depth of cut.

Actually, what you could do is program to cut 1 depth and then use transform with a negative Z delta shift on a pth that uses toolpath editor. This would be almost the same as using depth cuts.

Actually I've though of modifying the post processor so that when I enter 0 as a feed in CAP, the post will go back to using the toolpath's default feed. So 0 quits the modality.
