    <description>&lt;P&gt;You are rather limited to what you have in the Heights dialog. There is also the "Safe Clearance" value on the last tab of most tool path dialog.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My approach is safety first. I agree that going full rapid right to the part is nerve wracking, and I do not advocate doing that.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There might be a post edit you can do, but really, to save 1mm of rapid and plunge feedrate, that seems a bit....unnecessary. You would be better off finding a way to push the tool 5% faster and make your time there.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Just my $.02&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Keeping tool down between operations?</title>
      <link>https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-manufacture/keeping-tool-down-between-operations/m-p/8842466#M64710</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello everyone,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Might sound a bit odd but I was wondering if there was a way after an operation to keep the tool down rather than a full retraction? For example I will profile my stock with a contour then wish to go back and do a clean up cut after (another operation). In between both of these however the tool wants to lift above the job when I know it is clear and already at the desired height for the next op. I have messed with retraction heights etc but when doing this the tool then rapids down to the new height and is a bit terrifying to watch. I hope I am making sense? Just seems like wasted time if I am still within the same setup and same tool. Wondering if its a post processor option or if there is a way of combining multiple operations into one continuous operation?&amp;nbsp; I know it sounds silly but when we are making large batches its a lot of wasted time when I know it isn't needed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any help or advice would be great.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
