Drill Linking Parameters Not Working ??

[CADCAM3D5AXIS]

I just noticed this after a few parts of a program when i am doing rapid positions for drill and ream sections on diff rent Levels and I need z to jump up above Z 0  and then rapid back down to a lower level do to feed cycles. any one else see this or am i missing something??? It just ignores the settings and acts like it does not see them  for the R plane .

 

TIA

Is it set to incremental on the r plane?

Whatever you attached isnt showing

I believe retract needs to be set to incremental. Then you will post out with a G98 and an R of -1.1

^^^^ I will check that out in the am .  it used to work in x9 and everything before that  but sometimes mc 2018 greyes out some of the settings and then i know its time for a reboot and try again.

TIA I shall try again.

2018  ?

I noticed that today ...

I had to move my geo to the z depth below abs value where It really starts from.

Never had to every version prior lol

Clearance: Absolute whatever to clear everything (I would uncheck use only at start and end of op or you could crash, depending on geometry)

Retract: Incremental .1

Top of Stock: Incremental 0

Depth: Incremental whatever

Select all holes/points/whatever at the top of the hole.
