clearance cube yes or no??

So I have always used a clearance cube when programing. I do understand it may slow the run time down a bit, but feel it is safer to use it then not. However The guy I replace did not ever use them in any program. He has move points everywhere. It got me to a thinkin what is the best way to use them or not to use them???

Also when I go to add the CC to his programs it seems to mess them up and they do not run correctly. Why would this be?

Move points will result in faster programs. Clearance Cube generally faster programs. If there's ever a chance that you only want to check a subset of the programmed dimensions, the Clearance Cube and mini routines are great. They can be frustrating especially if you want to clear in a direction different than the tip orientation. It's all in preferences. I started out with move points, went to clear planes and now Clearance Cube. With move points you can see exactly where the tip is going; clear plane you know if it's going to move or not. Clear Cube, until very recently, you had to dig into the menu's to see if and where the tip was going to move.
