7.5.14 Limit G30 Moves

information, see "About G30" (below).
To limit G30 moves:
From the Settings tab, select G30/M998 Move in ZOnly.
Figure 7-88: Settings tab.
About G30
A G30 command in a G-code program moves the machine to a
preset position. For more information on setting a G30
position, see "Use a G30 Position" (page150).
Use a G30 move to start a coordinated movement of the axes.
You can limit the movement to only the Z-axis. For
information, see "Limit G30 Moves" (above).
Tip! It's useful to program a G30 move right before a
tool change so that the machine can jog to a safe tool
change position.
7.5.15 Use Feeds and Speeds Suggestions
Note: Calculating feeds and speeds requires that
PathPilot has relevant details about the tooling. If you
haven't yet done so, go to "Create Tool Descriptions"
(page154).
You can use PathPilot to automatically calculate feeds and
speeds: from the Conversational tab, in the Conversational
DROs group, select a material, a sub-type, and a tool.
1. If you haven't yet done so, enable the conversational
feeds and speeds setting. From the Settings tab, select
Conversational Feeds and Speeds.
