Help with Parallel direction??

[Anonymous]

Hello I have a part that has 2 sloped sections in which I would like to machine. I am using a ball end mill and cutting these slopes from solid stock. The problem is when I select the slopes in the 3d parallel path it will try to machine 1 slope from top to bottom but the other slope it wants to machine from bottom to top which is causing me to break endmills because it is machining the deeper pocket and plunging the endmill into the metal first. The slopes are the same so it should work on both sides the same. Is there a way to make it machine the other pocket from top to bottom also? Thanks for any info!

Indeed it is! Pass Direction is your friend:

Setting it to 180 will reverse the order in which the feature is cut
