5-axis milling

[tarponicus]

Hi all,
problem during 5-axis milling, lead out during multi-axis cuts is always a rapid, where do I make a change to get it to feed out of the cut? Don't have this problem in planar milling.

What version of NX are you using?

The feed rate is set as a retract feed. If you leave it at 0.0 and have a linear move then it will be in rapid. If you use a circular move it will be at the cut feed. At least it's smart enough not to try to rapid in a circular motion.

ahha! I knew it was something I'm overlooking. New to NX6, new to UG period. Thanks for the reply.
