Controlling tool's transition between operations

CAM system generates auxiliary tool motions including transition from the tool change point, tool motions between operations and return to the tool change point using the operation start, operation end points, and the tool change point defined in the NC.

If additional control over the tool motion on these parts of the toolpath it is available to specify Approach and return rules for the operation.

Specify tool change point for the operation if tool is changed in a point different from machine tool change point.
