Student's lathe toolpaths are reversed

I have one student whose account is doing doing the lathe ops in the reverse direction. He has he set up correct. It doesn't change if he logs onto a different computer. I was looking in his preferences and don't see what he could have changed. For example, during a facing operation it starts at the center of the stock, leads into the stock, and turns from the ID to the OD. It probably is something simple, but it's got me stumped. Thanks.

Check were this marker is on the simulation controls. If it's to the left of centre the sim will be backwards.

Thanks. I will take a look at that this afternoon when I have the student in class.
