According to the Help under Feeds, VM sets the Engage and Retract Feed to be 75% of cutting speed. This doesn't seem to work. When you Load Feeds/Speeds, select the conditions that apply, then click Copy Computed Values, only the Spindle Speed and Cut Feed are updated in the Set Feeds/Speeds dialog. The Engage and Retract feeds are unchanged.
The next-to-last paragraph in the Help page states that "The current Cut, Engate, Retract, and Transfer Feeds are displayed in the top right box. If you want to modify these values based on the calculated values on the left side, copy the values to the relevant fields on the right side and click OK to update."
What top right box does this refer to??? What calculated values on the left side???
Feeds/Speeds

Okay, you got us here. The text in the help file that you are refering to is left over from our previous release where the Feeds/Speeds dialog was different and you did not have a Copy button. We will fix the help file pages. Thanks for the heads up.
