Can not climb cut

[grandpa jay]

When I change the style from convential cut to climb cut, nothing happens to the cut direction. Is there something that I am missing? The start arrow is in the wrong direction also. The only way that I can get Mach3 to climb cut is to edit the code.
Thank You

You need to regenerate the gcode after changing the setting, which can be Ctrl W, or from the menu etc.

That does not work. The little feed direction arrow in CamBam still indicates a conventional path direction. I am using CamBam 9.8f.

This is weard. When I open CamBam and draw a rectangle, do a profile op and generate tool path, I get convintional direction. If I then change only the style to climb cut, it works. The little arrows flip back and forth.

If I draw a rectangle in Auto Cad and open it with CamBam, it does not work. If I then draw a rectangle using CamBam, within the AC drawing it also does not work.
