Those in the heights-tab is for controlling the whole toolpath. Those under linking and ramp-settings are for controlling specific parts of your toolpath.
You might want to have your retracts at 2mm above part, but you dont want your ramp or helix start up there and cutting air
in pockets or in adaptive-ops you often want to keep the tool down as much as possible instead of lift to retract-plane between each move. Lift height prevents the tool from dragging across the surface
I Agree that the extra rows in the G code can be annoying, but when running a program for the first time it can be used as a sanity-check
Tool stops 10mm above stock instead of doing a rapid to -50...
You shoud be able to create a toolpath with all the settings as you want them, rightclick on it and select "store as template" Save it as (as an example) "2D-contour-T2"
Next time you want to use it, just rightclick on the setup and select "import from template".
Then edit the imported operation(s) and select geometry
You can also rightclick in most of the textfields and select "make default". In that way that value (or expression) will always be there for that type of operation.
