Assign feedrate for specific segments

Post by Gyelle » Fri Oct 07, 2016 7:49 pm

Hi all, I'm a new user of QCAD and I'm using it for a 2D laser cut application. I need to generate GCode and my CAM configuration is similar as Spesmek, except that I deleted the pauses after M3.

My question is : Is it possible to change the feedrate of specific segments ? Like assigning feedrate for each layer or something like that..

Thanks in advance,

Gyelle

We are currently working on a major update for QCAD/CAM. This will make it possible to assign different tools, feedrates, etc. per profile to be processed and much more (multiple passes, better control over processing order, etc).

Hi Andrew,

Do you have an idea of when this version will be released ?

This depends largely on how our current tech preview version is received. Possibly in February or March 2017.
