Cut Direction has two modes, Cut and Compensation. Cut mode enables you to change cut directions individually or based on a condition. For example, you can change all outer profiles to a counterclockwise direction as a group. Compensation mode enables you to change compensation directions.

to display properties for cut directions and compensations in the State Manager.

the work area, and then using Set Profile Direction
