    why can't i rotate tool angle in turning face operation?

    Here is a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/1vykyUb

    In other tutorial videos, i saw they have the ability to change tool orientation. But i don't have that.
    Could it be because it converted to mill-turn part? I don't have the option of not having it do that when i create a new turning cam project: a popup dialog appears asking me if i want to save before converting to mill-turn project type.

    I think your machine (machine id and post file) do not support it.
    This is picture from Mazak Integrex i-200 machine.

    I figured out how to do it. It was in the machine simulation window (i dont remember what the tab was called, because i'm in linux right now ...).
