Parallel carving direction

Hi Charlie..

I did a project that was narrow along the X axis , but very long along Y axis. When I generated a tool path with parallel carving, the tool path would be X axis  direction only . Is there a way to make it cut in the Y axis direction ? I looked at your tutorials and options for the cut but did not see how to do this. When it generates the tool path does it look at which is more efficient ? 

Thanks Joe

Hi Joe,

With the Parallel Carving operation you can set the 'Cut Angle' parameter to 90 degrees to make the cuts go along the Y-axis.

Hope that helps :)
