Rapid retract setting is not honored when cutter compensation is on

Summary


Details

With Cutter Compensation, when retract is set to 'rapid', the retract is a feed move.



Solution

Some controllers cannot handle cutter compensation with a rapid move, so by default we make this a feed move. 
As some controllers can handle this, we have an environment variable that will give the rapid move:


edit in the line:
UGII_CAM_ALLOW_RAPID_CUTCOM=1
to the file:NX\ugii\ugii_env
- Restart NX and regenerate the operation, then you should see the rapid move
