  1. Load the App-Ret_control.elt file.
    Note the Optimized mode of the Entry and End Points section, and the resultant approach and retract motions of the procedure.


    The Entry and End Points dropdown has 2 options: Optimized or Advanced

  2. Change the Entry & End Points dropdown list to Advanced.

  3. Change the Preferred Approach Radius to 5 and the Preferred Retract Radius to 2.

  4. Save & calculate.

  5. Check the results.

    The approach motion size has increased and the retract motion has remained the same size as it was before.
