Hi Caroline,

Please refer to the attached images. 

This image refers to the direction of the cut (top to bottom)

This image refers to where you can set a stepover for your tooling

Hi Caroline

 

In the pocket toolpath select raster function instead of offset. This will start from bottom to top.
