    4th axis Values Backwards when Using different Views

    I am using Velocity 3. My issue is When i construct different views and post the 4th axis values are inverse of what they should be. I did a test with a 4th axis trim cut and that works fine. the A values are correct. They are only backwards when i use views. Is there any way to solve this on m-post? Has any body had this issue before?
    I have attached the post that I am using.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    cheers

    If the 4 Axis Trim Toolpath be posted through MPost are correct, then it should be the "Incorrect View" problem when programming! The Standard Views are not all same as machining Views! Make sure the CView indictor Postive X always to Right Side!

    I Did. I doubled checked making sure the x was going the right direction. It ended being and issue with the post exe file. I got a updated executable file From Paul Andrews. And when i posted the trim toolpath it ended up being backwards also. So now both toolpaths are backwards. Which is ok. I put in my post this value.

    index x- This forces the post to post in the reverse direction.

    Thanks For the reply.

    Cheers

    You Should modify the post at

    A ->3.>3 mod 360 mult -1

    Not at index x-

    The mod 360 is forcing the A axis will rotate 0 --- 359.999 --0 and also 0 -- -359.999 -- 0
