Does anyone know a way to change the transition feedrate without having to do it by hand?

I would guess that you do not have a commercial license? if you do not you are limited to you transition moves being the same federate as your cutting moves.

I do have a commercial license, I just don't know where to change them.  Can you help with that?

In some cases, transitional feedrates are linked to Lead-out feedrates. Changing that will boost the transition feedrates. In other toolpaths, it's not so simple. As @hyperbolicindustries mentions, we do need more info. Can you share the file?

Good Morning (check local listings), I really shouldn't put the file I am working on on the internet.  But the machining strategy is a 2d contour.    I figured out that if I turn off the "keep tool down" it will do the movements in rapid, just not a big fan of all the jumping around, but it did save like 3 minutes.

Maximum Stay Down Distance is also very helpful with this sort of thing. I default it to 2x tool Dia.
