Feed speed bug

[magic]

Even if I create a new tool in Artcam, once a file has started, different tool-paths always run at the same feed speed.

Is there a fix for this?

when you select your tool... you need to pick edit in the box that pops up.. on the bottom right of the next window is where you set feed speed etc.. this the only fix I can think of unless I am misunderstanding what you are after...

You can always change the feed rate on the fly.

I would prefer not to. Sometimes I'm cutting-out 300 parts and carving a logo. So, the logo is cut at 2 ips but the part should be cut out at .5 IPS. As the part comes off, I paint it. So cutting all the logos first doesn't save any time.

This also happens in Part Wizard. It does not matter if I create another tool - It does not matter if I use the drop-down menu. Once a file is running I can't change the feed speed unless I hit the space bar and MS, the thing.

Recap, happens in Artcam and Part Wizard

Does anyone have 5 minutes to see if it's happening on their machine too?

Thanks

Send me your art file (or sample), your generated sbp file and I will look at it for you. Also which PostP are you using.
It sounds like a postp problem possibly the new_segment statement in the postp.

I do this in AC all the time with no problems
here's one generated in g-code but you will see the 2 changes on the same tool.
