A user posted on facebook that there machine was doing some silly moves it was doing a - move when it was meant to be doing a + move

As you can see in red below

1001)
(T1 D=6. CR=0. - ZMIN=-4. - flat end mill)
N10 G90
N11 G71

(2D Contour1)
(CHANGE TOOL)
N12 T1 M06 (FLAT END MILL D=6. 6MM SINGLE FLUTE ENDMILL)

N19 G01 Z-2. F10
N20 G01 Z0.4

It should of been doing

In the post the Z format was set like below on line 90

var zFormat = createFormat({decimals:(unit == MM ? 3 : 4), forceDecimal:true, scale:-1});

I changed it to

var zFormat = createFormat({decimals:(unit == MM ? 3 : 4), forceDecimal:true, scale:1});

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The WinPC-NC controller is generic in nature and is meant to be connected to a variety of machines. It seems that the machine it was originally written for moved the Z-axis in the opposite direction. We will add a property allowing for the Z-axis to be output in the normal or opposite directions.

Hello

Is this option to invert the movement yet implemented?

Regards

Yes, you can set the desired Z-axis direction using the following post property.
