1. Edit the procedure.

2. Select the Link tab. Press the Retracts button.
   

3. Set the Clearance Type and Direction to Cylindrical and - X-axis.

4. Define the Radius at 120.

5. Apply the distances as shown below.
   Set Rapid Distance to 5 and both Entry Feed Distance and Exit Feed Distance to 3.
   

6. Execute and view the results.
   

   There are different options to define the clearance shape. In this case, it will be a cylinder of 120 mm radius with the center passing through the UCS origin point (through X=0 Y=0 Z=0). The options are described as follows:

   • Feed Distance: Last approach motion towards the material. In Cimatron, this motion would be the Delta_Z_Up or Surface Normal motions.

   • Rapid Distance: Last rapid motion before the first feed motion. Performed in the same direction.

The rapid motions bypassing the check surfaces have a cylindrical shape.

Notice that the created cylindrical motions are performed in a radius of 210 mm and not 120 as defined. The system will calculate the minimal safe distance needed to not gouge any geometry. The search for a new safe height is performed in steps of 10 mm as defined in the Air Move Safety Distance parameter.
