    Reversing Z direction in program

    I am trying to get the program to read out in a positive value. Tool clearances values need to be in negative.

    a little more info would be help full as Dave suggest. Mill? Lathe? I have seen this on Hurcos running EAI and had to build a custom post as all the Canned cycles used incremental values in the opposite direction but normal milling was performed in the neg value.

    Where are you defining your UCS?
