What is the benefit of this enhancement?
With this enhancement, you can choose whether to extend the toolpath in a circular or tangential way after you specify the start and end extension values in the Tool Motions dialog box.
Previously, selecting the start extension as circular would extend the toolpath only in the circular way. This enhancement eliminates this limitation.
This enhancement brings full flexibility in choosing either circular or tangential extensions in turning.
