Working length and the limitations of an integrated motor

You said that the ideal apex locator measurement is the one taken before obturation. So which length should we use for shaping?

Translated version of the Turkish original

There are scientific studies showing that shaping with an endodontic motor with an integrated apex locator reduces postoperative pain, and the measurement can be repeated with a hand file before completion.
