Approach / Retract Extension

Extend the approach and/or retract motion in each milling lane. These parameters can be used to maintain sharp corners during milling.

Approach Extension

Set the approach length. This adds a tangent motion before the first TP node in each lane.
The default value is 0.

Retract Extension

Set the retract length. This adds a tangent motion after the last TP node in each lane.
The default value is 0.

These parameters are set in the Entry & End Points section (Advanced mode) of the Procedure Parameter Table and appear in all Finish procedures.
