    Post Sprutcam 10 - Lathe - Machine Under Axis Setting

    Maybe this is a newbie question, but I havent been able to figure out how to tell SprutCAM to change the side of the part to machine on a lathe. Everything appears to be oriented correctly and I can generate good toolpaths for machining with the tool on the positive-X side of the workpiece. I want to machine with the tool on the negative-X side of the workpiece but cant find the option in SC10.

    Based on some other searches and reading through help files, it looks like in sprutcam 9, there was an option to select "Machine Under Axis". (see attached image)

    My question is, Where is this option in SprutCAM 10?


    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks!

    Its in there. Not in front of my computer so.... should be under the round icon or the gear looking icon.
    Works ok, it should shift the tool path to the bottom of the part.
