    If you mean reverse the + - signs in the program that is easy.
    Edit
    F1
    Modify
    Reverse X Y
    Then just designate which one you want to reverse.

    Setting #45 "Mirror Image X Axis" will do what you want..

    If you want it to be a permanent change you would have to dig into the parameters..

    Do you mean you want the machine to home at the opposite end of its travel? Your first post is ambiguous.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

    I work for a shop that is part of a larger group of companies. two of the three have VF6 VMC's. But the other has just purchased a horizontal. We would like to be able to run the programs for the parts that the three big shops produce, (we use gibbscam) without having to change the .vnc file.

    I know there are other ways of going about this, but I thought I would give this a try.
