Currently, I am using the cutting feedrate for both leadin section and cutting section.
However, it would be better if I can separate them and set the specific feedrate for the LeadIn.
So I am wondering if we have leadin header and leadin footer entity In the block output.
I am using the version 3.28.1
How to set the Leadin feedrate

Re: How to set the Leadin feedrate
Hi,
yes, see GCodeBase.js:
but not as header/footer.
Probably a typo: // these default to this.linearMove:
Meaning they revert to this.linearMove when not defined.
And probably only for linear moves.
There is something as arcCWLeadIn, arcCCWLeadIn, arcCWLeadOut, arcCCWLeadOut ...
But further undocumented in existent postprocessors and these default to arc-moves or first arc-moves
Regards,
CVH

Re: How to set the Leadin feedrate
Is this still about a post for a laser?
As example: this.arcCWLeadIn should be recognized.
Then you could set the related output block to:
Code: Select all
this.arcCWLeadIn = "[N] G2 [X] [Y] [I] [J] [FX]";
Of course you need to register that variable and retrieve it from somewhere.

Yes, CVH.
This is still related to the laser cutting.
I like your idea to create a new variable FX for the leadin feedrate.
