Reverse Pocket Toolpath

Please, please pleeeaasseee can we get a checkbox to reverse the direction of the pocket toolpath? I mill aluminum sheets that require a lot of small cutouts, for which I use the pocket toolpath, but for years now I’ve had to do a second pass on all of my cuts to remove the burrs that result from milling in the wrong direction.

You guys did eventually add a climb/conventional dropdown to the contour toolpath, which means I no longer have to create offset shapes to accomplish this with that feature (yay!) so I had assumed I’d eventually see something similar for the pocket toolpath, but unless I’m missing it, it hasn’t carried over yet. It would save me so much machining time. Thanks!
