Trouble with Post for Prototrak

Everytime I generate a post for use on a Prototrak the Z's are all positive. The ProtoTrak wants to use the top of the part as Z0.0000 and into the part as negative Zs.

How can I change the post to look at the top of the part as the Z0.0000 and into the material as negative Z?

this is from a post that works (from another CAM)

N7 G01 Z-0.0833 F150.0 (Milling the part)
