Have you been able to arrive at any clear repeatable structure in your macro programming, or is it just ad-hoc make it fit for this job and this machine?

Asking, because I am trying to level up cnc programming to "normal" programming.

Not so much no. About the closest i come is reusing the same program for pieces that are identical. This rarely happens.

The cam software i use does come with a few handy baked in things. Stuff like automatically lowering the feedrate for corners under a certain radius or for setting up z-level ramps.

There's a couple i can think of being handy. Functions for automatically decreasing feedrates at certain axis loads or horsepowers would be nice.

I think it would come down to something more like a handy library of functions for little things like that rather than anything really repeatable. Even that would likely be specific to whatever machine you use though.
