Once again... It's always good to know what version your running.
Open the parameters for the toolpath and select "Planes". In there you can change the plane to whatever you want. You can also select your work offset.

running x2
thanks
Quick way
-select the ops you wish to change
-R click, edit selected items, edit common parameters, place check in "planes" and then click on "planes" button
-select new WCS, T/C planes and accept
-ops will dirty, and will need regen
NOTE-----check your paths carefully-----
tool will be wrong side, cutting wrong direction, depths will be from the bottom
There is no problem having WCS=bottom, T/C planes=bottom as mastercam sees this as your 1st set-up and will "internally" picture it as if the part was up-side-down ( aussie style ) as if you had programmed WCS=top, T/C=top
