converted to line segments, either because arcs are disallowed in that
plane, or because the arc is too large or too small.
Rapid filtering sets when rapid moves are to be converted to linear
moves (G1 in ISO code) at a high feed rate. See also Retraction policy
on the surface tab for how retracts are generated.
There are these options:
Preserve rapid movement: Rapid moves are always output as
rapid moves (G0 in ISO code), even if they are in all three axes
simultaneously. This option should only be selected if rapid
moves on the machine are synchronized as linear moves.
Preserve Z-axis and XY-plane rapid movement: Rapid moves
are output as rapid moves (G0 in ISO code) if they are along the
Z axis or in the XY plane, but are converted to linear moves (G1
in ISO code) at a high feed rate if they are in all three axes.
Preserve vertical rapid movement: Rapid moves are output as
rapid moves (G0 in ISO code) if they are vertical (i.e. along the Z
axis), and are otherwise converted to linear moves (G1 in ISO
code) at a high feed rate.
Preserve horizontal rapid movement: Rapid moves are output as
rapid moves (G0 in ISO code) if they are horizontal (i.e. in the
XY plane), and are otherwise converted to linear moves (G1 in
ISO code) at a high feed rate.
Preserve one axis rapid movement: Rapid moves are output as
rapid moves (G0 in ISO code) if they are in one axis only, and
are otherwise converted to linear moves (G1 in ISO code) at a
high feed rate.
Map to high feed cutting: All rapid moves are converted to linear
moves (G1 in ISO code) at a high feed rate.
High feed rate: The feed rate used when rapid moves (G0 in ISO code)
are converted to linear moves (G1 in ISO code).
