    Is there a way to mirror a toolpath either in cam or Preditor editor in G code? V25
    Thank you!

    One thing to note, if you mirror a toolpath the cut direction will be reversed. If that's not a problem one way I've mirrored g code is, use replace then replace all Ys with Y- the replace Y-- with Y.

    Some more notes, if there are G02/03 moves you need to mirror IJ as well and I think you need to swap all G02s to 03s and 03s to 02s. Probably easier to mirror the geometry in BobCAD the more I think about it.

    in some control, the G50 associated with axis letter scaling the whole toolpath, likely G50 Y-1.0
