Hi.

I have a problem with posting 4 axis program. Our rotary axis i set to turn regards to ISO, but Bobcad generates program in other standard. How change post to reverse the direction of rotary axis? I've tried to change #442 parameter but it doesn't work. It only changes first position block.

I've read this article :
4 Axis Wrapping

but it doesn't helped and everything is still mirrored.

With this parameters program looks like :

PARAMETERS
440. What is the rotary output type (0=Abs Pos, 1=Signed ABS, 2=Signed Continuous) ? 2
441. Multiaxis feed type (0=UPM, 1=INV on all, 2=INV on Rotary, 3=INV on 4 and 5 Axis) ? 2
442. Wrapping X axis is (1=primary, 2=secondary, 3=tertiary)? 1

What should i do to reverse axis direction?? Please help!

You may be able to effect the change you want by editing your Machine Definition as this is where the axis alignment and direction are defined for your machine.

I believe the convention for milling machine axis alignment and direction is a convention not affected by your choice.
I researched milling machine axis alignment and direction convention before mounting and wiring my A axis and set it up accordingly, when I subsequently bought BobCAD-CAM I found it's default to agree.

The machine definition is where you match the movement of your machine...

These integer values control direction. This value from positive to negative will reverse the A rotational direction.
