NX6 oject -> transformed cut mirror

NX6 oject -> transformed cut mirror

NX6 oject -> transformed cut mirror

(OP)
Hi everbody, when mirroring a cut it switches [logically] from conventional to climb cut [or viceversa]. Is there any solution to keep the milling direction the same?
Within our dies we have a lot of mirror operations possible, and I do not want to create them twice if a good solution is available.
Any good tips&tricks are welcome.

RE: NX6 oject -> transformed cut mirror

When you use the Mirror tool path option do not instance the path.  Just Copy it.  Now you can edit the "Mirrored" path and change the cut directions to opposite of what you want and generate it.  Sounds screwy but that is the only work-around that I am aware of.
