Disable "retract amount" in backplot

Recommended Posts

I have several custom drill cycles that use the "retract amount" field for different purposes. When I backplot these operations, the simulation executes an unnecessary movement along Z using the value in this field. A minor annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless - can I disable this feature?

No. The Backplot is setup to read the standard variables, as they are written "stock" in the Mastercam interface. You'll have to live with the annoyance.
