FC changing material

[Tolyatti]

Featurecam constantly changes the material from say Aluminum to "Aluminum from [filename]". This throws off the speeds and feeds, of course. I'm sure I'm missing something fundamental, but how can I keep FC from changing the material?
Thanks.

Go to Options -> File Options -> Existing files and set the Feed/Speed to Use the F/S tables from FeatureCAM's F/S Database

Thanks for the reply. Before I do this, will this change the F/S I've already saved for ALUMINUM for each cutting tool?

No, I think this information is saved with the tool

I'll try that, thanks.
