Can someone tell me where I can adjust my rapids speed?
Does it automatically detect when it can use rapid movement?

when you generate a toolpath the yellow moves are done at a rapid.
By rapid we mean move as fast as possible on the particular CNC. So there is no feed setting for this one.
Usually rapid motion is mapped into G0 for ISO controls. However, occationally rapid gets mapped to feed moves using G1's. In this case the high feed needs to be specified but this is done during post processing - the post dialog has a property list which allows this depending on the post you use. In some cases the high feed might also be hardcoded when it is undesired to have to specify it.
Rapid are used for repositioning as fast as possible without engaging the cutter. The post will generally map rapids to G0s for ISO posts (sometimes G0s are forced to G1s for specific posts due to dogleg motion for the particular CNC).
In some cases it can be useful to manually use feed moves instead of rapids per toolpath operations or per NC program. For an operation you can use the high feed mapping on the linking tab. For the NC program you can change the high feed under properties in the post dialog.

Same question here...How can we change the rapid movement rates?
If you really want to change your rapid (G00) move ratess, that is a machine setting and has nothing to do with CAM.
We're running a Hurco mill. In post all of what should be G0 is coming out as G1. As a result, our "built in high feed rate" is limited to 300. To clarify, our yellow lines (rapid movements) should be G0 but are coded as G1. Way too many to tweak one by one in the code. There seems to be something in the Hurco Post that changes the Rapids to G1.
