Y-axis and Z-axis swap

My post processor file seems to have the y and z axes swapped.
How should I change it?

Hi @Grace.lee167YJP 

 

this post is totally normal.

The axis prefixes had not been changed :

Same for the Y, and X axes. The prefix and axis name match.

 

And the kinematic definition is the regular one for a milling machine.

As expected the table axes (X and Y) have negative values in their direction, when head axes don't.

The X coordinate is along -1,0,0, i.e along X 

Y and Z are also along the traditional direction.

And the head direction, i.e. the tool direction is along 0,0,1, or the Z axis direction.

 

Nothing seems incorrect in that post.

 

Regards.
