Change Toolpath Direcection

[alan]

Hello, 

I would like the toolpath direction to be changed by 90 degrees in a contour operation.  I think I found a setting in the past but can not remember what it was.  Please help.

Thank you.

Are you talking about a start point or something else? A visual of what you are referring to would be very helpful

Seth,

Sorry for the delay in answering I was traveling.  Not the starting point.  Say the cutting direction is following the X axis back and forth but I want it to follow the Y axis back and forth.  Most parts Fusion picks the correct direction but occasionally I want to go the other way.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Alan.

Passes tab, pass direction change to 90 deg for instance

Thank you.  I must be missing something.  In the passes tab I see a "Direction" box but I can only select "climb" "conventional or "both ways".

Any ideas?

no pass direction? up a little from direction? what tool path is it you may have to turn on finishing

It is a 3D contour.  I think I have seen what you are describing in the past that is why I have asked on this forum.

No i dont thin 3d contour has the option, can you change to a parallel operation its a bit more flexable?

Perfect!  Thank You!!  I knew it was there.
