You can toggle this arrow to a tall arrow by clicking the short arrow with the left mouse button and selecting Retract to Z rapid plane from the context menu. |
|
Retract to Z rapid plane |
This tall green up arrow means that the tool retracts to the higher Z Rapid Plane (G98, "Initial level return", on a Fanuc control) after the operation. You can toggle this arrow to a short arrow by clicking the tall arrow with the left mouse button and selecting Retract to Plunge clearance from the context menu. |
