Please see attached . Does anyone know how to reverse the circle scanning path ?  For whatever reason if I scan a radius path from left to right the stylus falls off the geometry. I need to scan from right to left.

Add the angle range value to your starting position value. Then change your angle range into a negative.

If you're falling off something needs to be adjusted.  Consider an alignment.  Depending on what you've got there, consider a self-centering point with a big stylus (don't forget to select "midpoint" in the evaluation tab) to "find" the feature, X/Y zero at that point, and then come in for your scan invoking this alignment.

Or try moving one or both ends of your scan in one degree.

You can reverse the circle scanning path by adjusting the start angle and direction in the feature’s properties. In most cases, switching the scan direction (CW ↔ CCW) in the circle settings or redefining the start vector should let you scan from right to left without the stylus dropping off.
