General Mach Discussion / Re: Unsolicited Pauses Between G00 and G01 Commands?

Hey!... Thanks for the quick reply.

The last bit does that because you have a rapid G0 then a feed G1 then rapid G0 then feed G1. It is going to move you z each time it sees a rapid.

Yes I know, but why is there a PAUSE between them... Like for a third of a second. I didn't ask for that? 

Also your code should be G0 or G1, not G00 or G01.

Huh? I think popular opinion on the interweb disagrees with you. Not that it matters I guess.

If you want smmoth motion at full speed just give it some code with a feed in it that is equal to your max speed.

But it's not me that's generating the thousands of lines of Gcode, it's the CAM program. I'm not about to start coding by hand. But the point here is that it's not my mistake. There should be no stops unless I ask for them.
But again, I sincerely appreciate your suggestions.

Anyone else?

General Mach Discussion / Unsolicited Pauses Between G00 and G01 Commands?

This code creates one fluid movement:
G01 x1
G01 x2
G01 x3
G01 x4
Great.

This code creates 4 acceled/decelled movements with no pauses:
G00 x1
G00 x2
G00 x3
G00 x4
Well, one could manifest a reason for why you wouldn't want constant velocity with G00 commands, I would disagree, but I can live with it.

But THIS code creates 4 accelled decelled movements with a PAUSE between each segment:
G00 x1
G01 x2
G00 x3
G01 x4
Don't understand it, and it's majorly slowing down my file, because my cam package sometimes draws an object as many lines, tangent end to end, so it goes to safe Z between each one.

Hopefully I'm just doing something wrong, but I've looked everywhere twice. I would prefer it if each of the above 3 samples created one fluid movement.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
