Feed from chain to chain in contour

Recommended Posts

Hello, I have a contour operation that is made of several chains and is using the "by depth" option for  depth cuts. Is there anyway to create feed moves instead of rapid as goes from chain to chain? Getting rid of the short vertical moves between chains would be a plus.  Would rather not draw the tool path or change the machine definition to eliminate all rapid moves. Thanks

Josh

2019 if you ask me this is the easiest way to do it

The geometry creates was seconds, the chaining straight forward.

The aversion to it the method leads me to wonder if you perhaps have trouble chaining it?

Using partial chain with the wait button checked on makes this easy, just keep clicking on the next section and walk the chain through
