When programming with cir or ptp motions using an external axis the external axis stops briefly between points. How do I program so that it moves smoothly between points with no deceleration? Should be a simple answer since I am probably missing something very obvious.

external axis is either synchronous with the robot or not.
if it is synchronous, then it will behave just like robot axes - when there is approximated motion, they all will move through some point without stopping, if there is advance run stop or fine point - all robot axes (and external axis under robots spell) will stop.
if it is asynchronous, external axis is not controlled by robot task so robot motions do not affect it. in this case external axis is either stationary or it is controlled by another task (submit interpreter).
