Hello, all. I am new to CamSoft, coming from an old Tree vertical mill, which now has a Camsoft control on it.
I am having good results, but am still have much of my learning curve ahead of me.
Here is my problem:
When I call out a rapid move, my machine travels as if it was in feed mode. Really slooow. Not knowing enough about this program, I am not sure if it's my toolpath writing or my machine parameters.
also, when calling oiut an M6, the spindle takes forever to retract.
Here is a short program I wrote to drill some holes. No where do I see a rapid command. Do I need to specify rapid when creating toolpath, then feed?
