Good morning. I am using the same tool to machine different areas of my part, when i am done machining one area the tool retracts out of the stock area but then goes right back in the stock area to the new location, how do i make the tool machine the first area then retract out of the stock area and position itself in X and Y only the move in on Z to do the machining?

Based on your description, Min Rapid Distance % may help address your issue. Also, Depth First could help alleviate some unnecessary jumping around.

Without seeing the file itself, it's hard to diagnose, but those setting may help.

With regard to your data sensitivity, in cases like this, I would encourage you to contact our support team. Many companies are fine with data being shared with the company directly, (not widely on forums), or at the very least, our support guys can jump on a web session with you to sort out the issue.
