HI,
Can anybody help me change the cut direction on a lathe profile?
The rough turning finishing module used to work fine with edge cam now the roughing is correct but the finishing profile starts at the back of the part and makes its way to the front?? weird it never used to but a cant figure out what has changed

Any help greatly recieved :banana:

thebiglad,

Post your file as a ".TXT" file, here.

Please look at the new thread called "help us, help you".

But the short answer is.... Then you pick your chain, you should be picking it from the end where you want to start.

Hi Guys i have been away but here is the file as txt needs changed back to ppf
its a simple version but acting thesame way finish turning starts at the back

So, here is your finish turn going in the opposite direction. For future reference to change the direction of the cut (it looks like this was done from an operation) is to hit Ctrl+r-click... this toggles between the start arrow and the end star. I am sending a ZIP file with the ppf and a quicke video, so just unzip and take a look

Oops, I am bad... I meant Ctrl + L-Click (normal click) to toggle between the start and finish.

Brilliant thanks alot Mike
