Clearance at end of toolpath

[heeler]

I would like to put a clearance at the end of a toolpath only. Is there a simple way to do this. The problem I have is that I have a high qty part with short multiple setup paths. I need to have a clearance at the end of one setup to move to the next setup which is higher. If I use clearance, then it puts it on both the start and the end causing the machine to make an unneccesary move up and down at the start of the next toolpath. I can edit this out, or edit a clearance in, but I would like to make Mastercam do it for me. I have many parts that are using this similar process and would like to not have to edit them all.

 

Thanks

Well you can edit your post and add a z value at the end for this set of job. HTH

I found it, Use ref. position and turn of all but the Z on retract, put in the value that I want. Do this only on toolpaths were the next path is a different offset. And Bingo there I go.

 

Thanks for your reply Mekanikal.

Do you feel dumb when you should have known the solution to your problem.
