cool...
If you have to write a brand new code, I have an idea.
In cnc software that I'm using, there's a "renumber" button, so you can change the cutting order simply by select the chain one by one in the desired order.
I find it easy.

I asked for it because I tried with Lazycam to change the "cutting order" property... but nothing change.
Maybe I miss something.

Thanks

I can't understand how to change the cut order.

If there are a lot of objects and I want to change manually the cutting order, how I have to do?

Thanks

I have a curiosity, is it possible to jog one axis through the mouse wheel?
I think it could be usefull.

Mhh I'll try...

I tried to increase the acceleration ramp and my square become magically a circle.

I'll wait for an art answer  I'm sure that they could solve it

Ok, I think you are on the right way...

In the software that I'm using for 5 years, there's something like "angular discrimination", that set where place a curve, or a deceleration, and where not.
There's a way in mach3 to modify that value?

My machine doesn't loose steps at 314.96 ipm (8000mm/min) because in the mach toolpath simulation it draw the same rounded corner.
I don't wan to to cut mdf or other material at 8000, I produce mould for fiberglass, and I need to mill 3D objects with a smooth finish, so the milling machine has to remove thin layers, like 0.1mm, at high speed.

I let my mill to go at 8000 only for make the problem bigger, but it to the same problem at 5000 or 3000, only smaller round.
You can see an example of what I do in this video, it's a test only

Just for answer to chad (wow nice machine your :-) ) I set the "look ahead" value to 50 lines, but don't matter, because in a square there's only 4 lines of program right?.

Thanks for all to all of you :-)

are you kidding?
In a 10Mb 3D program? or in a complex 2D program? I can't it's impossible.

If I change that, it works fine, but only if I mill simple object like square.
When I mill a 3D path, I can't use the exact stop mode, because my machine works so crispy (I don't know if it's the right word :-D).
It doesn't move smooth at all.
I need the cv mode but not the rounded corner.

Thanks

I have a problem milling at medium and high speeds.
If I mill a square, the corners are rounded, as much as increase the speed.

here attached you can see the problem, I milled the same square at 3 different speeds.
