    Are you using Lazy Cam? If so, set the feedrate in the layers tab (you usually have to resize the tab to see all the options.

    Just add the feedrate to your g-code, F50 for 50ipm, or type the feedrate you want in the DRO and hit enter.

    Im useing a .dfx file imported into mach 3 and automaticly translated into gcode, the problem Im having is that the feed is always set to 1, I then have to manualy set to desired feed. What im wondering is if there is a way to change mach 3 to always translate to desired feed that i want.

    Mach2 or 3? In the Mach2 .dxf importer, I believe you can assign feedrates to the different layers in the .dxf during the import.
