Hi all,
Where do you set the feed rate for the Z Axis ?
My generated G code shows it as zero and I have to edit it to show a feed rate.

The Z feedrate is labeled as "plunge rate".
The default plunge rate for a tool can be defined in the dialog when adding a tool:

When creating a profile toolpath, the plunge rate can be adjusted for that particular profile if desired:

Thanks Andrew, I am new to this and thought those fields were for setting the feed increment !
Really must read the manual before diving in.
All sorted now
