      <p class="para_topic">Retract allows you to move the tool safely away from the part for both intermediate and final retracts.</p>
      <div class="title_division">None</div>
      <p class="para_division">None specifies that there will be no retract.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Vector</div>
      <p class="para_division">Vector retracts the tool from the part in a linear motion along a specified vector. The tool moves the specified distance in the XM and YM direction away from the last point to be machined on each machining pass.</p>

      <div class="title_division">Angle/Distance</div>
      <p class="para_division">Angle/Distance requires you to enter an angle and distance to describe the retract at the end of each groove motion. Positive Angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive XM axis of the Machine Coordinate System (MCS), and negative angles are measured clockwise from the positive XM axis. A positive Distance value causes the direction of the retract move to be the same as the direction established by the angle. A negative distance value causes the direction of the retract move to be opposite to the direction established by the input angle.</p>
