Is there a simple shopbot command to change the direction of a cut from climb to conventional without changing anything else?

Thanks

But, on second thoughts, if you are cutting symmetrical parts that can be flipped over, you could enter a z "scale factor" of -1 and cut your sheet "upside-down" with the z(0,0) at the other end of the table. Your program will then look like it is running backwards.

The DOS version has an easy way to change the scale factor, I don't know if the Windows version still has it.

All this is in theory, havn't tried it myself.
