gpost (apparently) omits first feed rate

there appears to be something wrong in my Gpost Config.  The NCL clearly shows the first feed rate, but the posted ngc is missing it.  seems likely to be a problem in gpost. Mine is a simple 3-axis FANUC post modified to work with LinuxCNC which is the controller for my little mill. 

Where would you look for this problem?

no errors no warnings.  If there's any comfort in any of this, I've found after many years of doing stuff I didn't fully understand that I'll eventually prevail if I remember what I've already tried so as not to go into a loop, and NEVER give up.

 

thanks for keeping an eye on this,

john

Which product is this?

this is done by the Gpost which comes with Creo 7.0 Manufacturing.  I'm pretty certain that problem is something I did in configuring the specific post I'm using because other posts do not omit the feedrate at this location.  I suppose that a person who is pretty familiar with Gpost may recognize where I went wrong.

The difficulty is that you are showing people the input (.ncl) file, and the output (.ngc?) file. There are multiple processing steps taken between the two that are the cause of your troubles. Without information about what the settings are for these steps no one is going to be able to determine what's gone awry.

Did you edit the .FIL code (files with name like uncx01.f01, uncx01.f02, etc.) to attempt to do what you need?

Presumably you made some sort of changes to the settings of the post processor via Applications->NC Post Processor. What did you change?

If it were me, I'd compare the setup that's causing problems to one of the others that is working fine, see what is different and try switching the likely suspects and test the results.
