i need to reverse g2/g3 on a lathe post

i have tried swapping (clockwise ? 2 : 3) : (clockwise ? 3 : 2); 

 

but it changes nothing.

 i had to invert the z axis because this swiss has two spindles, the z axis's are backwards from eachother.

 But my g2/g3 are backwards on the main spindle still. I am at a loss. i thought it was something simple, but im not getting anywhere.

What kind of machine and what control is on it?

 

I have a post I've been using for my swiss lathe with a Mits M80 control.

ah, wonderful. genturn SL42Y2 swiss Mits M800 i believe.

 

I took a general fanuc post, and made some quick changes to it, with reversing the clockwise 3,2 it works as expected on it, just doesnt do anything to the mits post.  I think ive got it working for now with the fanuc post. but if you have a turn key post and are willing to share - id be thrilled

It’s not 100% but it gets the job done for me. Pm me your email address and I’ll send it over.
