    No feed rate error in FeatureCam

    I have a Bridgeport Torqcut 22 with a DX32 controller. When I program a part from an IGES file using FeatureCam (v6.0) and load it into the Bridgeport, the mill stalls when I try to run it and gives me a No feedrate specified error message. The txt program looks identical to one that runs fine which I have written using geometry created in Fcam itself; any ideas?
    I am using the torqcutti post processor. Both programs run through the simulation mode in Fcam without problem.
    Thanks

    Looks identical at the controller? Looks identical in notepad?

    If so, you have some sort of ghost character in there.

    I had a similar problem. I would re-type the line that alarmed out at the controller and it would work fine. A "Legacy Programmer" (what we call the old guys) I work with recommended opening the txt file with 2010 Word and re-saving it, it worked. I then dug into the post processor and corrected the issue.

    Hope this helps
