You can define the tool movement between the slices with six different options:

Direct

Broken feed

Clearance area

Broken feed and rapid

Follow surface

and

Blend spline

Similar to gaps along cut you differ between small and large links.

This difference size is calculated as a percentage of the user given maximum step over value.

E.g. if this value is set to %150 and the maximum step over value is 0.1mm the gap threshold is 0.15mm. That means, all step over moves from one toolpath slice to the next slice are checked against this 0.15 mm and determined whether the gap is smaller or larger than this value.

If you don’t want the gap size depending on the maximum step over just activate "as value" and set your value.
