    no plunge feed rate when Z level finishing and Advanced Z level finishing V27

    Hi all,

    I've come across a rather strange problem.
    As I post the code for a Z level finish with multiple depth steps the program doesn't post the plunge feed rate when moving down from 1 depth to the next (it does so for the first step).
    When I select retract for following it does post it, but when I select direct in the following, it plunges with the feed moving speed instead of plunging feed rate.
    Even worse, if there is a G00 to move from an area to the next it plunges with G00 feed, and thats more then any tool can handle.
    I tried setting the feeds NOT to modal (in the PP), but that generates so many codes, to much for me.

    Am I missing something here, or is this something others have come across and maybe found a solution for?

    Thanks,
    Bart
