Isoparamametric machining Operations	Order of parts is inverted. Corners 1 and 2 are swapped. Corners 3 and 4 are swapped. Corresponding interpolation axes at corners are swapped.
Multi-Axis Isoparametric Machining	Pole points are inverted
Multi-Axis Sweeping	Start direction is inverted
Multi-Axis Contour Driven	Start direction is inverted
Multi-Axis Spiral Milling	Climb and Conventional options are inverted
Multi-Axis Tube Machining	Way of cut (clockwise/counter) is inverted
Multi-Axis Helix machining	Climb and Conventional options are inverted
Multi-Axis Curve Machining	Climb and Conventional options are inverted Geometry points are inverted Sign of Tilt angle is changed to invert the left/right condition Couple of Points limit elements are swapped. For Tangent Axis guidance along isoparametric lines: when machining a strip of drive surfaces, check that the reference tool axis gives the desired result for the best matching u or v isoparametric line of the first machined face.
Multi-Pockets Flank Contouring	Climb and Conventional options are inverted
Multi-Axis Flank Contouring	Geometry parameters are inverted
Multi-axis Flank Contouring	Climb and Conventional options are inverted Order of drives is inverted as follows when the Close tool path check box is not selected. Drives A, B, C, D are machined in the order D, C, B, A. Before Opposite Hand Machining: After Opposite Hand Machining: Order of drives is inverted as follows when the Close tool path check box is selected. Drives A, B, C, D are machined in the order A, D, C, B, A. Drive A is the first and last machined element. Before Opposite Hand Machining: After Opposite Hand Machining: Start and End elements, offsets, and conditions are inverted. Approach and Leave distances are swapped. Manual direction is inverted (Left / Right). Local stopping condition and Local restarting direction are updated.
