Request: Add Order Top-Bottom in Flow.

[jacobXNNNF]

Why is there no control of up or down milling in Flow? Ramp has the ability to set the order to Bottom-Up. Flow becomes very limiting as you pretty much are stuck with whatever direction it chooses. Like in the photos below you can see how I chose 4 different surfaces. There's nothing I can do to tell Flow to go down in Z so I'm stuck with an operation that is very likely to cause tear-out since I'm milling wood. Can we get more fine tuning of Flow so it has a broader use case?

If you are using legacy Flow then you can select a preferred entry point to force the tool path to start at a different position:

This is in the linking tab

This doesn't work in the new Flow(Preview) toolpath though which is a major frustration as otherwise its a major upgrade on the old Flow.

Unfortunately I have already tried moving the starting position. It doesn't affect much really since the starting point is already at the top. Since I have two small adjacent surfaces to the large surface, it prioritizes the small ones and basically the starting point becomes inconsequential no matter where you put it.

We're aware of this limitation in Flow and are working on improving the usability of this toolpath. Stay tuned for future updates where we might see a "Top/Bottom" (or Up/Down) option 😉

still no update on this issue ? 

[seth.madore]

We've improved this internally, you should see this in a future update 🙂

ok great thanks for the update 🙂
