Anybody know how to control rapid units/min?
I have drawn a simple design on solidworks and saved it as a  DXF, I'm able
to use all the tools in lcam  and post a pretty clean gcode the only problems I have are the
rapids are way too fast. Can I isolate rapids and control the units/min.
I did find rapid override rate option in mach3 but it seams to be noneffective.

Thanks,

Ryan

Rapids run at the speed set in motor tuning. You usually want rapids to go as fast as possible.

Hi, Ryan

Your rapids should be G0 moves, The only way to slow G0, G00  moves down is to set the "Velocity's" lower in Mach3's, Motor Tuning page for each axis.

All other moves are controlled by "F" settings associated with G01, G02 ....... type G code.

Very Cool, Thanks!
Ill try and play around with the motor tuning. Im running this on my house PC so I dont really
have the Mach software configured the same as the one I have hooked up to my machine.

Thanks for the quick response.
