Feed over ride on WMPG when running a file <Resolved>

I distinctly remember using the WMPG to slow down the feed rate when first running a new file to ensure my tool heights were OK. Yesterday I did as I always had done but things didn't slow down. On the VCP it showed I had slowed it down to 10% but the actually feed rate didn't slow down. Is there a setting some where I might have inadvertently changed to cause this behaviour?

Hello,
Please post a fresh report.zip so we can get a better look at your machine's configuration:
You have P264 set to 3, to enable separate Rapid Override controls; and you appear to have a corresponding VCP "skin" selected (one with "_rapid_" in its name.
Do you think maybe you were turning down the Feedrate Override, and expecting it to affect a Rapid move?

Does the feed override not affect rapid moves? The program I was running was made in Fusion. Mostly I work in Intercon for the simple parts I usually make.

So, no, feed override will not affect rapid moves.

It used to, before there were separate Rapid Override controls.
It still does, if you do not have a separate Rapid Override control set up.
If you have the new software, and have chosen to have separate Rapid Override controls, there should be a "Link" option on your VCP which will make the Rapid Override setting follow the Feedrate Override setting, and vice versa.
