F1 car machined right>left NOT left<right

In the tutorial supplied with QuickCAM PRO it tells me to set the raster angle to 90
When I do, the cuts are generated from RIGHT (X+) to LEFT (X-) and not the other way round as in the tutorial :roll:

This is only a problem when I'm making a car that will break off the right hand side on the final few passes.

Unfortunately the tutorial has been based on using QuickCAM 3D version 3 (the basic one)

When using QuickCAM PRO you should select a raster machining angle of 270 degrees and not 90 - this will generate the toolpath required.
