In Madcam, there's a tool parameter called "Cut link distance" which is very useful. When doing a big parallel finishing job with thousands of passes like the curved 3D surface in a wing mould, you can set the cut link distance to any measurement greater than the stepover distance and the tool won't do a move at the end of each pass - it will move directly to the start of the next pass. By reducing thousands of small unnecessary moves it makes the job lots faster and more efficient. Is there a similar function in Rhinocam?

This would not be required in RhinoCAM as the toolpath automatically does a cut connection from one pass to the next walking on the surface. If there is no surface to follow, it would do a retract to clearance or skim height as set by the user under clearance definition. Hope this helps.

I encounter situation with pass-to-pass tool retractions when make profiling TP with conical shape tool.
It cause also at V-carving TP.
BTW, why V-carving in Rinocam perform such strange relocation logic? I set Fast move strategy to "Minimal distance", but RK keep move tool from one side to another then back again.

We cannot say for sure until we can see a part file. Could you send a part file with a toolpath to [email protected]?. Or you could post your question in our support forum and attach the part file there: https://mecsoft.com/phpbb/
