After having built the toolpath and NC code is generated, I load the NC code into Mach 3. It all looks good except for the fact that the Z-axis movements generated by Feauturecam are backwards. The Z axis reads and interprets positive values as retracting the spindle, and negattive ones as plunging into the workpiece. For my setup (mill), this should be the opposite. Z-1.0 means retracting the spindle and Z 2.0 means moving the spindle down 2 inches. X and Y axis are good.
Is their an option or setting in Feauturecam that will allow me to generate a reversed Z-axis?
Any help is appreciated.
