The profile selection process is an important step in the programming stage. It determines the region to apply a machining process, the direction of machining, the depth and subsequently, the types of toolpaths to use, etc.
Changing the direction of machining is sometimes desired and there are three easy methods in GO2cam to do that:
The Information button (white arrow) is also used to select an existing profile and make it current. For an illustrated overview, see Selection Commands and Options. The methods below explain its use for reversing profile direction after validation.
