Hello:
I have mastercam X and mastercam9. I am programming for a new VTL
(2 axis). I used a post processor for a lathe program and all my X values are minus. Can anyone help me figure out how to modify the post so the X values are plus. The machine configuration is sindle down/turret right.
Thanks.

For verison X I think you can change this in your machine definiton, Im not sure what line in your post you have to change to force (+) x vaules.

Thank you for your response. In MC 9, when I backplot the values show positive but post out minus. In MC X, backplot shows zero but still post minus.
In both version the machine definition is for VTL. In backplot and verify, it shows as on a vtl, spindle down.
Anyway, thank you very much.
