Here you can specify any command lines necessary to finalize a support block.
Tab page Rapid traverse
G-Code interface
A rapid traverse command is a movement without generating or adding material.
Rapid traverse has to be performed if the last coordinates of a vector differ from the first
coordinates of the following vector (e.g. to move from the end point of a finished contour border
to the start point of the next contour border).
Rapid traverse commands are inserted in the following situations:
• move to a new z-level
• move to the first segment of a new contour border
• move to the first segment of a new hatch or support block
• move between unconnected segments within a hatch or support block
HINT: Because of the nature of the rapid traverse, you should ensure that you specify the
commands needed to tell your NC device control not to generate or add any material within the
rapid traverse movement, e.g. turn the laser off or set the feed rate to 0.
Rapid traverse start:
Here you can specify any command lines necessary to issue before the rapid traverse
movement.
Rapid traverse segment:
Here you can specify the command line for a rapid traverse movement. It tells the control how to
move from the start coordinates of the actual segment to the start coordinates of the next
segment by using G01 and macros as placeholders for the coordinates ([NEXT_X], [NEXT_Y], ..).
You should also consider to specify a feed rate value here using the macro [FEED_RAPID] or
[FEED_RAPID_OPT].
