    pocket milling retract problem

    I've come across a problem that I haven't solved.
    I was machining a pocket with an island using multiple step downs.
    The g-code appeared to generate the correct tool path, until near the end of the pass, when the tool moves from one end to the other cutting diagonally across the island without retracting.
    I'm new to Solidcam and CNC but have coding experience, am I missing some setting or is there a bug in the postprocessor?

    Hi CrazyJane,

    Can you post the offending code? Please include several lines of code before and after the problem area.

    Thank you,
