73. CW-117977 CSR-22036 Assembly In Assembly mode, for Drill operations defined on multiple features, CAMWorks For Solid Edge does not consider clearance plane (G99) selection for retract between features in the toolpath. It moves to rapid plane for each hole. This is observed when the ‘Output multiple parts by tool’ option is selected in Setup Tab of Machine node.
