Can anyone tell me why it is doing this and is there a way other than a custom post that will fix this issue, Thank you, Mike
The 4th is programed in degrees, as I'm sure you know. It also is programed in + (positive) and - (negative) you just need to reverse the rotational direction. Don't remember if the 4th itself can be reversed, but I'll bet that you can in Mastercam. If you are telling it 60 degrees, just change it to -60 degrees.
