    "Flip" DSTV coding

    Hello. Hopefully someone knows how to read .nc1 files. The customer has a peddinghaus PCD-1100. The problem is that when they load the beam, they load it into the "back end" of the machine, where in most cases the beam is supposed to go out of. So they load it backwards. Reason for this is that they had installation restraints and didn't have much choice.

    So, when they load up our nc1 file, it is shown on the operator's screen as "backwards" & the machine gets confused and I guess attempts to flip the beam around since the faces in which the holes are punched are opposite to what it expects.

    I'm hoping that the solution is to swap the o&u, v&h faces and that will work... but that may not even be the problem. I've attached the NCfile sample that they have sent me... hopefully it can explain it better to someone who can read it.

    edit: We are using tekla structures to output ncfiles. Strucad file is an example of what was sent to us.
