Looks like VisualTurn is programed in radius mode. How does one switch it to dia mode.
Also I set machine cord to the right of the work but when it posts all the code is in positive Z not neg Z. How do I fix that.

1) Mecsoft has a support forum - linky - http://www.mecsoft.com/cgi/teemz/teemz.cgi?board=_master

2) I do not have VisTurn but am VM user and I will bet that you can reverse your axis +/- inside the post processor.

3) On my CNC lathe going right IS + and left IS -

4) Posting this Q on the forum linked in 1) will get you an answer today if you still need help you can also email support@mecsoft.com or talk directly to tech by phone. If your software is legal they will look after you immediately.

I seen the MechSoft Forum. Did'nt post there since there were no other lathe questions. Thought I would have better luck here. Have used that forum in the past with not much luck. I will try again.

You got a pretty quick answer this time - eh!

The emailing or phoning will usually get an answer even quicker.
If you send your file and post processer along they will usually make the changes for you.
