Note: For this tutorial, the Shortest path retraction policy is used. This gives the shortest possible rapid movement paths, but can only be used on high speed-enabled machines where rapid motion is interpolated as linear moves. Should you wish to machine the tutorial part on your machine, you may have to change this setting to suit your machine and control.
