    It's been a while since I have used BOBCAD CAM but i believe in the tool path parameters there should be a check box to reverse it. Or once you chain you tool path geometry together you can reverse the direction of it.

    If there is I can not find it, The biggest problem is with pockets, It does not show a way to reverse the cut.

    Thanks for trying

    You can change the direction of cut in V25 as shown in the attached image, bottom left using the two "radio buttons" below where it says Cut Direction

    Hope that helps.

    That would be handy but as far as I know you can't. I am unfamiliar with writing script, but you might be able to write script into existing post processor to do it. Don't know though.
