Change Clearance Distance and Retract Distance defaults

[[Ri...]]

I need to change Clearance Distance and Retract Distance defaults in certain programs where both values are too big.

I have set these in Measurement Methods, but it has no effect on new features or certain programs.

On large programs it is a PITA to do this on every feature made or previously created.

I am also aware I can mass edit via Measurement Plan Editor.

Any help is appreciated.

Wasn't those definitions in main configuration for measurement? Same place like automatic identifying of element from N points?

There is also strategy for cylinder either points or arcs.

Yes they are in the configuration for measurement, but it doesn't change a program that has been created, and created from an older version of calypso.

First page is what you're looking for.

I personally set my Clearance distance to Zero as a default, then add it if its needed during programming.

But i also use a starter template for my programs, so i haven't started from a blank page in a really long time.

I wonder - is there an ability in feature's editor to switch from element selection to program selection ( radio buttons on top ) to select a default for all, then reverting radio buttons to features selection and selecting all to "*" as default?

you can change all at once with Notepad++

search in files "inspset" for #backawayDistance and #safetyDistance

I have found (Calypso v2022 and earlier) the settings do not change what was set at the creation of the program.

In a program I am working on now, I changed these settings, when I create a feature both settings default to the original program settings were back in v2016, I have to manually change them.

I also use templates with perfered settings.

I am going to test creating a new program with my template, and copy/paste from the old to see if the settings change. (On the next program I convert to v2022).

This is editing the program files?

Globally changing the better idea?

That's what I was saying, globally changing the settings did not solve the problem.
