    3D Constant Stepover.

    Greetings from India.
    Can we reverse the toolpath by using HSM (3D Constant Stepover) toolpath?
    We have for our cavity created two tool path, one roughing (HSR) and one finishing (HSM). The 3D constant stepover toolpath is starting from Inside the cavity depth and emerging to the top.
    Please help.
    Regards.

    Hello Junior1505,

    You need to have "Advanced" select to see all the machining tabs available, then you need to go into LINKS and select "From First Pass" under the "Order Passes" header.
