      <p class="para_topic">NX outputs an event (MOM_cycle_plane_change) to allow you to process work plane changes. A Work Plane Change occurs when the next tool position is higher, relative to the spindle axis, than the current position. The system uses the event mark Cycle Plane Change to output a move, if desired, to a higher plane before the next cycle is executed. You may attach a block or call a custom command to output the work plane change move. The mom_variable, mom_cycle_clearance_pos defines the X, Y, Z position.</p>
