Honesty after I upgraded to the newest release recently I felt much the same way as mark. It was better I think with seperate feedrate and rapid overrides. The Max feedrate Works but it can be frustrating. I use my machine apparently much the way Mark does in varying feedrates when running a virgin code program. I am going to add some custom stuff to the control and honestly the comments about reading the manual are kinda irritating especially when the Manual is so vast in scope and information for things are spread around so much. The documentation of the control is difficult to understand for me and this is not my first cnc. It is hard enough for me not being a programmer type. Just a humble opinion not trying to hurt any feelings. I LOVE LinuxCNC so far. peace
