tool returning to start point of cut

Hi all

When checking tool motion with CL data file from within Pro E ( Creo ), at the end of the tool movement, the tool wants to alway return to the last cuts start point, even if it isn't command to, what do I have to set to make it end at the last command within the CL data file.

This is where it should stop
[attachment=2:12364za2]<!-- ia2 -->END HERE.JPG<!-- ia2 -->[/attachment:12364za2]

as per the code

[attachment=1:12364za2]<!-- ia1 -->NOT HERE CODE.JPG<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:12364za2]

But it wants to return to the start point of the last cut

[attachment=0:12364za2]<!-- ia0 -->NOT HERE.JPG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:12364za2]
Can anyone help me with this, is there a setting that is controlling the returning point

Thanks

Peter

Re: tool returning to start point of cut

It's the FROM and GOHOME commands that cause this.
Look at Project > Apt settings > GoHome motion (This is probably filled with FROM); meaning that when vericut encounters a GOHOME it will goto the last FROM command processed.
If you set this to RETRACT with a distance of 0, it will remain at it's last position.
