Actually our plan was that when F is in the same line of M667 this the controller uses then this is only for the Z axis feedrate during THC mode, the F values when used with lets say G0 and G1 will still stay separate. M667 F200 will only be for THC Z feedrate.

that will be a pain to change. every time you need to change the thc feed rate you have to repost the part in sheet cam . or edit the gcode . you need a control on the screen to change the THC response for the z ... its that simple .. it the plasma world simple is better .. thc has enough problems on its own to get working right

not to mention were does the code have to go in sheet cam. the post processor. so now one would have to edit the post processor. or you going to put something in the cut path rules .. I get the idea to make it automatic with a g code. this need to be change easy even if you have to enter a number if a control is to much ..

We are planning to have both the gcode and a slide bar for this , this way both can be used in combination.

We have added the option and now you can pass the feedrate via M667 command, example: M667 F110 will only set feedrate on Z axis to 110 when in THC mode, things such as rapids and other feedrates are still separate using normal gcodes.

This feature will be automatically included in the next software release due to be released in the next few days.

I see it was added to the update please explain were the g code goes in sheet cam to slow the feed rate when the thc is on .. is this a rewright of the post processor. I don't see were sheet cam going to send m667 every time the thc is on. this is to much a simple screen control slide would be fine like all the other controllers do

we will have a slider in the future versions, its already in our development list.

For SheetCAM, at this stage you can simply edit the post processor file and next to M667 add the F value, later this value can be set and passed from SheetCAM itself.
