Re:Where to adjust user settings

What file would I need to alter to change the default fast feed rate from 201 to 155? Our machines have a maximum programmable feedrate of 157, and we use this as our approach. Currently I have to change this value every session, and I wondered where I could change it permanently.

RDawson,

How are you invoking VERICUT? Are you using a utility to send STL files over to VERICUT and open the application that way? I suspect you are, because the default usr file for that strategy sets the FFR to 200. The file you are looking for in that case is the "init.usr" file. It is located in the Vericut\library directory. You can change the file by opening it in notepad, or by opening it in a VERICUT session and just changing it there and re-save it. If you open the file (it is a text file) in notepad, the attribute you need to look for is called FAST_FEEDRATE_THRESHOLD. You can just change it and then save the file again. I make the assumption that you have the necessary write permissions to make such a change. If not, you'll have to get some help from an administrator. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice.

I use Vericut from within Unigraphics NX2. To get it to work I have to use the ugv_nx2.bat file which loads UG and the Ufunc(sp?) license.

I did find the file you mentioned, and changed the value and I still get a FFR of 201 when I start the program. As a side note, I tryed opening Vericut from the start menu and it changed the value, but it made it 15000. I tryed it 155. and 155.00 with no change in the results.

I would suggest to create a template user file that you can set vericut specificially to the way your machine functions. Then every time you create a vericut session you can just copy the user file and rename it. That way you do not have to change settings that are applicable in all of your vericut sessions.

Corey was close on this one. His approach will work for VERICUT users that aren't using the UG interface. UGV initializes VERICUT with the "ug_init.usr" (inch UG sessions) or "ug_initm.usr" (mm UG sessions) CGTech Library file, prior to adding UG data transferred by the interface: models, tool path(s), etc. You can change the default VERICUT session settings by modifying the ug_init.usr/ug_initm.usr initialization User files located in the "library" directory in your VERICUT installation. --Gene

That did the trick.

Thanks

Don't forget to update your ug_init user file(s) when loading a new version Vericut.
