Can you export an f3d file with the problem and upload here.

Thanks Mark.

If you go to the Linking tab for the operation and click the drop down for Ramp you should see an entry for Ramp Clearance Height (think mine defaults to 0.1in.). Most likely your setting for Retract Height and Feed Height on the Heights tab are set below the aforementioned Ramp Clearacne Height. Increase those two height settings and see if the warning disappears. If in increasing the two height values, you may also need to increase the Clearance Height to keep it above the Retract height.

Alternatively, you could lower the Ramp Clearance Height.

Fredsi is onto it. Two of the errors are a result of the others. The retract plane can't be below the feed plane, so the software is automatically lifting it, and the feed plane can't be below where the Ramp starts. So the software lifts that to match as well.

These aren't errors, but are warnings the software has got your back

You don't actually have to do anything when you see these, but you can if you want to clear the warnings from your CAM browser.

I got rid of these warnings in a 2D pocket by reducing the "Safe Distance" (under Linking) from something over 0.5 to 0.1. My feed plane is at .1, so the feed plane no longer needed to be lifted.
