      <p class="para_topic">This parameter allows you to define how your canned cycle block handles the RAPTO or minimum clearance distance. Depending on how your canned cycles are configured there are a number of choices you can select. </p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">R The default and most common setting is to output R in the canned cycle block. The post adds the rapid to clearance distance along the tool axis to the top of the hole position. </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">None The setting of None for the Rapid To parameter is useful if your machine uses cams or has manual control of the drilling cycles. </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Rapid Traverse &amp; R With the option of Rapid Traverse &amp; R the machine performs a rapid positioning move to a point above the hole and then performs the drilling cycle. This option splits the cycle into multiple blocks.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Rapid Use the setting of Rapid for machines such as the Bridgeport that do not have an R word in the canned cycle. The post must position in X, Y and Z above the hole to the rapid clearance plane. The canned cycle itself only feeds in Z. </p>
