Pocket lead out changed

Hello,

 

Recently we noticed that within the 2D Pocket operation the Lead Out moves have changed. 

We have opened programs from just a week or so ago and rebuilt the operation, and the lead outs change quite a bit. Most of the time this doesn't matter, but when we're doing nested parts on a vacuum plate, it causes the tool to gouge into the outer stock beyond our roughing of the profile of the parts.  Attaching screenshots of before rebuild and after, there were no edits made other than rebuild. 

We have tried modifying the settings to get the lead out to behave as previous but have not been successful. 

 

Please if someone could confirm the same behavior and a possible fix for this?

Dealing with the same issue here. Turning off lead out and unchecking keep down does not eliminate the green linking paths after the pocket.. This seems to be a regression in the tool path generation. 

I do not have a screenshot of before, but I do have "proof" that these un-removable links are now crashing into my part that I have ran previously without issues...

It might be effective to try changing the following settings.

@seth.madore I think this is one for you to investigate.

As temporary solution you can use 2D Contour with roughing passes, that does still provide the same toolpath as before.
