Mirrored profile milling NC-Sequence should stay CLIMB if original Sequence is CLIMB (and not change to UPCUT like now).

Mirrored profile milling NC-Sequence should stay CLIMB if original Sequence is CLIMB (and not change to UPCUT like now).

At the moment, when you define in Manufacturing-milling a NC-Sequence with profile milling with parameter CUT_TYPE=CLIMB and make a mirror of this sequence, the mirrored sequence changes the CUT_TYPE to UPCUT. This is non-logical, because if the original tool-move-direction is set to CLIMB, then the mirrored sequence should use tool-move-direction CLIMB too.

 

A workaround at the moment is before mirroring of NC-Sequence to change all Profile Milling-Sequences (and Volume Milling too) and their parameters to CUT_TYPE=UPCUT to get the desired CLIMB-movement of tool after mirroring.
