Rapid moves as dog-leg

[Code_Breaker]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a question, at work I am using X9 (IT does not want to install 2017), and the default for Rapid is straight line. Is the a way to set it like the control and move to the nearest X or Y and then finish at destination (like a dog-leg)?

you can set that on the Linear page of the Control Definition

 

old school backplot will not respect the setting, but Verify and the new backplotter will

That's only work in Verify ...

The classic backplot is what it is. Want to see something odd. Use a Ref point in an old school 3D surface finishing toolpaths. You will get all kind of weird results in X9. I really like it when the lathe home position has control over the milling toolpaths. Turn it off and you get rid of the odd movements on the screen in milling toolpaths.
