[2022.2 SP2] Retract distance for autocone?

It seems that the retract distances (before/after) for autocone (concentric circles) is calculated differently?

The "before" distance is calculated from the nominal position, but the "after" distance is calculated from the last measured position?​

Same distance, but the after is calculated from the last circle measurement:



Adjusted "after" to have the same retract position:


Is this intentional (caused several crashes here before working it out)?

  • in your first pic it looks like the AFTER isn't high enough and if you had run collision detection it should have flagged this. as far as you original question, I tried replicating it on my version (2021.2 CAD++) and while the B/A values were sometimes generated different, when I adjusted them to be the same, they were the same.
