adjust feed-rate on curve 5 axis

Hi everyone. It’s been a while but I’m back programming. Couldn’t stay away from it I guess.

I’m doing some 5 axis work and wanted to change the feed rate around some corners (bends) the geometry is splines. When I went to the geometry to ‘change at point’ as we can do in 3 axis, it’s grayed out. Is there a way of adjusting the federate in 5 axis curve similar that with 3 axis?

Thanks Roger,

I tried that. I can't seem to get it to select a point. 

Here’s what I tried;

 >right clicked on toolpath

>Selected ‘Toolpath editor’

>Selected ‘Edit point’

>try to select point on curve, nothing will select.

 

Shut it down, then selected the point first

> reopened Toolpath Editor

> select “Edit Point”

> Changed feed rate

> OK

> Regenerate tool path

> Didn’t do anything

 

So what am I doing wrong?
