    <description>&lt;P&gt;Sorry for the thread necro but did anyone ever get a solid fix for this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm having problems with Fusion 360 and my Tormach lathe. I have a turret with tools 1-8 installed and the CAM simulation does those fine. It also does other tools (drills, taps etc) that work on X0 fine. I also have a QC tool post mounted below the turret. These tools cut from -X. Fusion does not have a way to make this work. The spindle still spins the same direction the tool just cuts from -X instead of +X. I tried mounting a boring bar to the QC and the Fusion CAM wouldn't make it work. Regardless of the turret # the tool was in, the tool orientation, etc it just won't do it. And it's not like I can just manually edit the gcode after because the simulation makes a useless toolpath that won't even work to begin with. It's really frustrating. Any ideas on when they'll have a fix for this?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
