    rapids

    Is there a way to set rapid movements up or down in Mach3?
    If it works.....Don't fix it!

    Rapid velocity is set in the motor tuning screens. The newest versions of Mach also have a rapid override, on the Settings page I think.

    What exactly are you trying to do? Set the rapid total IMP? Or move slower when your using the arrow keys? Shift arrow is override for full rapid, push the tab key to set the jog rate, mine is set to 75%.

    I was simply wanting to understand how the rapids were set. As it turns out from Gerry's post I knew from having done "motor tuning" before. I had simply forgot it was all wrapped up in the acceleration & velocity settings.
