I logged this issue as R-19176.  I did my testing in MC2020.  With a "keep down" distance of 2.0mm or 1.0mm the tool doesn't retract (I agree, I think it should).  With a "keep down" distance of zero, it still doesn't retract.  But I was able to enter a "keep down" distance of "-1.0mm" (!) and when I regenerated, the tool did retract.  Maybe that will work for you, too, as a work-around. 

Thanks! That minus works.

I am figuring this is what you want?

 

 

Yes. Maybe something wrong with MC because with minus sign that works.

Hi. How i can get retract after every pass in flow toolpath (between zigzag)? Changing value Keep tool down within wont make any difference. Or is it even possible? In older Mastercam that worked, but in some point it started making toolpath like in picture.
