v22 CAM: Control direction of milling path

[tikka308]

I'm milling a single, straight line whose coordinates go from (on the y axis) at 0.4 to -2.5.

I'm having trouble telling BobCAD which direction the CAM toolpath is generated in. Sometimes it starts at the 0.4, sometimes it starts at the -2.5. This is using the profile function on a single, straight line.

I thought it might be "reverse" contours or show surface normals, but neither of those seem to do the trick. I want to be able to telling BobCAD which direction it should mill the line in!

Thoughts? Thanks.

DID YOU CHANGE THE LINE INTO A CONTOUR? IF YOU DO THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION WITH REVERSE CONTOUR. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Bingo! Perfect. I went to other / contour and made the line into a contour and used reverse contour to change the direction. Then I just had to re-select my geometry in the CAM function! Thanks for the help!
