Path Direction

The user can define the direction of the tool on the surface. This direction is expressed according to the axis of rotation of the operation. The user has to define if he wants to machine from the left to the right or the opposite solution.

Along positive axis

Indicate that the tool path  is made according the positive direction off  the axis of rotation. From the left to the right (X- to X+) if the rotation axis is X +

Along negative axis

Indicate that the tool path  is made according the negative direction on the axis of rotation. From the right to the left (X+ to X-) if the rotation axis is X +
