Need Help!- can't get the tool path right

[msn_jrd]

I dont know much about mx2 but if i draw a shape with a radius in the corners and run a contour tool path on it it works fine but when i make any thing with a angle in the corners and run a contour tool path on it the it cuts on the inside of it instead of the out side and the box inside/outside you see when chaining does not make a difference so where do you change it at? and what does the drop down box with outside/inside and theres 2 more in there but can't remember what they are what does that change?

it is the direction of the arrow. the clock wise cuts inside and counterclockwise cuts outside. Also make sure the Compasation is set to left. look at picture

ok thanks a lot ill give that a try i thought the arrow told it to clim mill or conv ?

The arrow direction with chain is the way the tool moves in contour, right or left determines the side of the line the tool comps to.
