A DF2 file parameter, Use Feed Instead of Rapid, allows the GPP2 user to replace every rapid linear motion (G00) with a feed linear motion (G01), using a predefined very fast feed rate (also a DF2 file parameter).
If that option is selected, the following actions take place in GPP2 when a rapid motion block is encountered:
A special FEED block is inserted before the linear motion block, with the new (very fast) feed rate.
The linear motion machine code parameter (LIN_MOV) is replaced with the appropriate code for feed operation.
The "fast" qualifiers are replaced by regular feed qualifiers. Specifically, fastlencomp: is replaced by lencomp:, and fast: is replaced by no qualifier.
The linear motion block is executed.
After the rapid motion block, or after several such blocks (in case they come in a succession), another FEED block is inserted, restoring the feed rate to its original value before the change to the very fast rate.
