Hello members of the RoboDK forum.

I'm experiencing a strange issue when creating a milling CAM program in Fusion 360 and transferring the CAM section directly to RoboDK. 

The issue I’m encountering is that, after selecting the type of milling tool for the task and defining my CAM path, RoboDK does not respect whether I set the tool to follow the inside or outside of the path in Fusion 360. 

Instead, in RoboDK, the robot is positioned to follow the centerline of the cut path, neither on the inside nor the outside, as specified in Fusion 360. 

It seems as though RoboDK isn't registering the tool data setup from Fusion 360.
What can I do to resolve or work around this problem?

Currently, I’ve managed a workaround by creating an offset in the 3D model, reducing the distance by the tool’s diameter from the edge, so the tool is correctly positioned in reality—assuming it should follow the inside path, that is.

Best Regards
Stig Lindberg.

Since you can set sides for the tool, that means you use a 2d path?
Did you set sideways compensation to control?

Thank you for the message. 

I managed to find out that the problem was under the 'Geometry' tab. I had to click on the gear icon and select 'Edit'. From there, there is a field labeled 'Reverse'. 
When I removed the checkmark, the tool appeared on the correct side of the cutting line.
