    Mirror Image??

    Hello, I posted this on GibbsCam as well... but, I just got done programming a fairly complex part for our 4 axis horizontal. This part requires a right and a left which is exactly the mirror image. Is there any way to mirror image the entire Gibbs file or the G code program itself? I tried researching this but haven't seen anything that appears to be easy? I do have cnceditor as well but cant seem to find any solutions there either? This would save me a lot of time if its possible!

    I suppose you could set one of your axis motors to run in reverse, which would have that effect. But it would probably be better to mirror the part file, and regenerate the G-code.
