    Oi TD Manual Guide i Text Engraving.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to engrave a part number on the side of a 22mm round bar using
    the Manual Guide i engraving function on a lathe + live tooling.
    I've got it machining the characters in the correct place but the letters /
    numbers are all mirrored vertically. ( eg 6 looks like 9 and W looks like a M etc)
    The simulation is correct however.
    When actually machining, it appears as if all the C axis movements are in the wrong direction.
    If any one has experience with this who can help it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks, Dave.

    Just a follow up in case any one else comes up aginst this problem.

    It's parameter 00012 C-axis bit 0 MIR needed to be set to 1
    Text on the side of a bar is correct. If I get time I'll do a test on the face to see if that's ok too.

    ATB
    Dave.
