    Tormach Pathpilot Mirrored parts Left and Right handed

    I have a very long engraving program that I would like to mirror. I have gcode for a left handed part and would like to make a right handed part from it.

    Is there a way to do that with pathpilot in the gcode?

    G51.1?
    G51 is in the PathPilot list of Gcodes but there doesn't seem to be any description. Also G51 is not in the LinuxCNC documentation for supported commands.

    Often times the CAM prog will allow you to mirror the paths. Never used a Tormach
