4 axis rotary toolpath direction/origin

Anonymous

Hello!
I've made a toolpath previously, using experimental rotary toolpath (see file attached)

 
 

Screenshot 2020-03-25 20.43.13.png

The milling starts at the end of model and moves towards the origin point where my chuck is.

Now when i dublicate the toolpath, the milling moves the opposite direction!

How do i choose the direction of milling (not the climb/conventional option which chooses the direction of turning)?

Is it the feature that was available previously, but gone now? Or it is me doing something wrong?

Kinda, solved by this:

But actually it is working a different way, by changing the origin point. 

Something has changed 😞

There are 3 parameters to control the machining sequence : milling direction, front/back plane and start position. These three parameters may conflict each other, which made it impossible to generate a toolpath satisfying the requirement of all three parameters.

In previous version, it took milling direction (if it is not 'any' direction) and start position first. As we realised it may not convenient for users, we changed to take milling direction and front/back plane as priority. 

In your example, the start position in toolpath calculated in previous version is from 'back plane'. The start position calculated in new version is from 'front plane'. Milling direction are maintained in both versions.
