Profile selection - VisualMills 2019

Hello,

I'm new here and I'm quite sure it is posted somewhere but can't find it and it is probably very basic..

I'm trying to select the staring point of a profiling cut, like show on pictures the red arrows are the starting point of the feature, I'm trying to change it to the blue arrows

Loke in parameters, sorting etc … no luck

Thanks
Thierry

Profiling uses start point of the curve for location of entry/exit. You can change start point of closed curves by selecting Change Start under Curve Modeling tab in VisualCAD & regenerate your machining operation.
Note: If you have use Mid-Point of longest side selected under cut parameters tab you will have to uncheck this to use the start point of the curve for entry/exit.
If the curves are not joined, you can use merge or chain curve command to make this a closed curve before changing start point.
Alternatively you can create a pre-defined curve region by selecting the curves and change the start point.
Refer to the following blog article on How to Control the Cut Side and Start Point
