Can I change the direction of machining

Hi, I was just maching a item that steps up in size twice then goes to a large diameter and the finishing cuts start on the smallest diameter and works towards the large diameter. The tool does not cut verywell at all cutting in an outwards direction!! Is there any way of changing it so it cuts from the outside in?
cheers
Andy

This sounds like it should do
- maybe you need to post a screenshot or photo to explain...
There isn't much choice on how toolpaths are ordered in the software as we've tried to keep it "idiot-proof" by not allowing you to change anything from the "norm"

I wonder if i have something wrong with the data for the tool as when it cuts from the inside out its not really cutting more like shredding the material with lots off vibration. If i were manually milling this i would go from the outside to thr inside.
Ill try and put some pics up later
cheers
