I was testing some G-code today, and cutting hardboard instead of metal. I cranked the feedrate over-ride all the way up. But, it appears the over-ride affects rapid rates as well as cutting rates, which makes no sense at all to me, as rapid rates are normally set to the max capability of the machine. Needless to say, this made the machine go nuts on every rapid. Is this really the way it's supposed to work? If so, it sure seems really wrong to me....

under general unlock the feed rates from the jog rates check box

The newest version has a separate override for rapids.
-
As has been said the Rapids can be locked to the Feed for overrides but it should never go above Max in motor tuning. Previously this could happen for feedrate but should now be fixed. Where the locking of FRO and RRO is very handy is when proving a programme, you can use the FRO pot (if you have one) and as you slow down all moves will slow by that percentage, it is especially handy for lathes where there are a lot of rapid moves.

Although with all the political crap going on this time of year, I'd rather be somewhere else... :D

OK, I can't find any such checkbox under Config->General, or even anything close. Where exactly is it, and how exactly is it labelled?

Hood,
Never mind. I'm an idiot. I forgot I had reverted to v2.63 when I was having trouble with brains. I just re-installed v3.041, and all is well. Thanks!

Hood,
Yeah, I guess it's a US thing. Firesign Theater was a group of people that did audio comedy skits back in the 60's and 70's. Very popular with the college crowd at the time ("pharmaceutical enhancement" probably made them even funnier. Very amusing stuff if you have a properly twisted sense of humor: http://www.firesigntheatre.com/albums/album.php?album=bozos
Obviously, you're not in the US. Where do you live?
