I only have VERY limited knowledge of Surfcam and I have to do this for my project. Please take a look at the picture:

I want to do the contour but the tool path is wrong. The ball mill is going in from the bottom instead of the top. I tried to change the coordinates but it didn't help. How do I change it so it will start lead in from the top?
Later, I have to turn the piece up side down to do the pocket. How do I tell the program to pause so I can turn it up side down? How do I tell the program that I have turned it 180 degrees and start milling from the opposite?
I'm new at this and I know these are simple stuffs but I'm lost. Thank you very much in advance.
