Editing U & V Surface Flowlines

[PrecisionD]

Does any one know how to reverse the U & V flowlines on a single surface. The surfaces that make up my model to cut have random flowline pattern (sometimes perpendicular to each other) so I can't generate a 5 axis toolpath unless I get all the U & V flowlines running the same way. I am having a hard time finding any way to edit those flowlines and yes I have all the normals pointing the same direction. Thanks for any input.

Always helps to post a file.....There is almost always some way to fix the problem in Mastercam

ive had the same problem using the flowline surface toolpath,on my part i cant get the tool to climb mill no matter what i try.

sometimes you can select (one way) (spiral) or (zig zag) in the parameters tab and get the direction you want.

Flowline requires that all of the surfaces flow in the same direction, which rarely happens. Try using Surface - Finish - Project. It gets around this problem
