I'm a just started trying to learn Solidworks CAM for my HAAS TP-2P mill and I'm having a little bit of trouble.
I have a fairly simple block designed with slots on the top surface. I set the coordinates, mill set up and pick the top of the part. When I Extract Machinable Features, Generate Operation Plan and Generate Tool Path, it wants to try to mill these slots from the side of the block instead of the top. How can I switch the cutting plane from the side to the top?
Thank You in advance!

Hi Bill
If you can provide either the part, a conceptual part, or a picture - then answering this might be more easy.
You should be able to insert a new mill part setup and pick the face where the slot is located.
Then run AFR on this mill part setup to find whatever is in this direction.
