Turning from negative X direction

Fusion is not playing well with the Tormach Turning post-processor.  When I make my setup in Fusion, I only have the option for Radius as the radial dimension mode.
 
The post-processor for Tormach runs as G7 (diameter).  When I create a profile, it builds the profile correctly and the simulation plays as I would expect.  However, when I post the profile and open it in PathPilot it seems that the X-axis has been inverted or that the tool is cutting from negative X--which would obviously cause the tool to crash.

if you are using the tormach turning pathpilot post, this info is at the top of the post and should be of use:
 
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Turret Assignments
//
// The following tooling options are controlled by the Turret number associated
// with the tool in the tool library.
//
// Turret 0 = Positional Turret
// Turret 1 = Quick Change Front Tool Post
// Turret 2 = Quick Change Rear Tool Post
// Turret 3 = Gang Tooling on Front Tool Post
// Turret 4 = Gang Tooling on Rear Tool Post
//
