3. Offset— Specify a target point offset from the from the start of the selected tool motion. You can specify offsets along the X-, Y-, and Z- directions.
4. Approach Distance—The length of the approach motion is determined by the APPROACH_DISTANCE parameter value. Enter a value for the length of the approach motion, if needed.
5. Click Parameters to edit the tool motion parameters using the Edit Parameters dialog box.
6. Click OK to create the approach motion or click Cancel to quit.
