A translucent plane will appear showing the user where the Z level of security plane is. The user can adjust the plane by clicking on the Pick button and selecting a point, use the slider bar to adjust it to where it is needed or type in a number.
The color of the plane can also be changed by using the drop-down menu on the far right side next to the Pick button. It can also be turned on and off by checking or unchecking the box next to the name on the far-left side.
There are three ways the user can control how the tool will retract travelling from one area to the next. Once you have set these values and the type of Optimization, these settings will be the default for future programs made under the 3D Milling tab.
Optimization Type – there is a dropdown menu here that will give four options.
Top Of Model – is calculated using the “Box” dimension of the model in the operations CAM reference.
Top of Model + Stock – is calculated using the CAD model and active stock model.
User Defined- Will use whatever the operator types in for the security plane.
Optimized – allows the system to determine the best method for retracting to reduce travel.

Here you can set the default colors of these fields.
