Sheetcam changed geed rate

Post by OTHill »

Somehow some of my tools got the feed rate changed. Probably about 1/2 of them and all changed to 49 ipm. No idea what caused that. Also a few files lately show all cut paths correctly but when I do a simulation it will miss some cuts and than mach3 skips the same ones. Any help? Thanks in advance.

When you change your feed rates to what you want, save the Tool set as default and it should not change them when you restart or an update is issued.
I did see this some time back but think Les cleared it up with an update, is your computer hooked to the internet so it gets auto updates. Under help menu click on "about" and that should display the version number you are on mine is 6.1.53. If you have different layers you may be leaving them out when you run simulations or when doing the post processing. Are you sure you have a operation that has them setup.

My version is 6.0.28. I remember that numerous times my screen has showed automatic up date available but for some reason my computer won't allow it to update. No the last file I had trouble on was all on one layer. It was queer I had 24 circles with 8 hole patterns and it left out the outside circumference on 3 of them.
