You can change the cutting direction with the cutting direction H, 
the machining direction Q and the direction of tool rotation (see 
following table).
Parameters—finishing
Q
Machining direction (default: 0)
0: From the inside out (from the inside towards the outside)
1: From the outside in (from the outside towards the inside)
O
Plunging behavior (default: 0)
O=0 (vertical plunge): The cycle moves the tool to the 
starting point; the tool plunges and finishes the pocket.
Q=1 (approaching arc with depth feed): When machining the 
upper milling planes, the tool advances to the milling plane 
and then approaches on an arc. When machining the bottom 
milling plane, the tool plunges to the milling depth while 
moving on the approaching arc (three-dimensional 
approaching arc). You can use this approach behavior only in 
conjunction with an approaching arc "R" and when machining 
from the outside toward the inside (Q=1).
Cycle run
1
Starting position (X, Z, C) is the position before the cycle begins.
2
Calculates the number of cutting passes (infeeds to the milling 
planes, infeeds in the milling depths).
3
Moves to the safety clearance and feeds to the first milling depth.
4
Mills a plane.
5
Retracts by the safety clearance, returns and cuts to the next 
milling depth.
6
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the complete surface is milled.
7
Returns to retraction plane RB.
