Tool Orientation in Swarf Mill

[sohail abbas]

Hi Guys


here is another problem, i am using the 5-axis Swarf Mill, but the tool is approaching the job form -Z direction, please tell me what to do so that the tool must come from the +Z direction.

Use axis definition and at the beginning of your cut orient the definition so the arrow points in the Z+ direction.
