V9 Safety Zone

[Altek]

Who knows how to take advantage of the "safety zone" feature in V9's Job setup?

 

It sounds like a good idea - but I can’t find any posts that give me any output by defining this zone. - According to V9WhatsNewMill Entry.htm (installed with the software)

 

"Users can now define an optional Rectangular, Spherical, and Cylindrical safety zones around their material. The Safety Zone acts to force the tool outside anytime it is involved in a rapid move between operations. This is useful in situations where the use of a Clearance Plane may not ensure tool safety."

 

I have tried the latest MPFAN & Mpmaster posts, I am in middle of customizing a post for our shop and would really like to use this for all our 4th axis posting to retract the tool when there is rotary motion.

Im not positive, but I think it only works if you are outputting to a 4 or 5 axis machine.
