Change direction in Nc File

Hey,

Is it possible to change the direction of an axis in the NC output file?

When an axis is normally positive it should become negative and vice versa.

In my case I would like to change the Y axis.

For example the post processor writes now: X1000 Y500 Z200 A20 B30 C60

It should be this: X1000 Y-500 Z200 A20 B30 C60

Any help is welcome.

Thanks in advance!

It should be done in your option file. Reverse the J direction for Y axis. Or attach your post here to be done by someone.
