      <p class="para_topic">Retract Method allows you to define a method for the tool to leave the part. Choose one of the following options:</p>
      <div class="title_division">Method</div>
      <p class="para_division">The Method option enables you to define how the tool moves from the final cutting position to a retract point. You may set the Method to one of the following:</p>
      <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/seqmill_figuressmpg59.gif"></p>
      <p class="para_division">Refer to Engage Method in the Engage Motion dialog for a description of Retract and Clearance Move methods.</p>
      <p class="para_division">For the Ang,Ang,Plane and Ang,Ang,Dist options, there is no need to specify a unit vector pointing in the general direction of the next cut when retracting.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Clearance Move</div>
      <p class="para_division">This option enables you to specify an additional Clearance Move at the end of the Retract Move. There are three choices:</p>
      <p class="para_division">None indicates that you do not want a clearance move.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Clearance Plane indicates that the tool is to move from the retract point to the clearance plane in a direction normal to the clearance plane.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Min Clearance indicates that the tool is to move from the retract point along the tool axis by the Minimum Clearance distance. This distance is defined by the Minimum Clearance value specified in the Sequential Mill Dialog Box.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Custom Retract Feed Rate</div>
      <p class="para_division">Custom Retract Feed Rate allows you to specify a special retract feedrate for the current sub-operation only. After you select this option, enter a value for the feedrate. The move from the final cutting position to the retract point will be made at this feed rate.</p>
