X & Y axis going the wrong way

[utengineer04]

Hello, fairly new to Mastercam. Using X5, we have a left and right (opposite) part. Anyways, some guy wrote a program for the right part (solids), and all the coordinates are fine, posted fine, no problems. Then he mirrored, or flipped the part, to make the left part. However now, my x and y (tool, graphics) axis are both going negative. When I verify the part, it looks fine, however when I post it, and run it, it seems everything is shifted to the left. I'm sure there is an easy fix, I just don't know it. I think it has something to do with the WCS, and like I said I am new, and actually was never taught on solids, but am winging it, until now. Any sugestions please?

Nevermind, I figured it out. I created a new WCS, then had to go into the tool path parameters, planes, then tell it to look at my new WCS, regened the solids, and problem solved.

Does any one know how to reverse x axis to x- axis in mastercamx5 lathe post?

utengineer04 How did you create the new wcs? I am having a similar problem, everything verifies but when the machine starts it either will do the part in reverse or miss the part completely. And I cannot remember how to change the wcs( my fault for not using Mastercam for the past 2 years)
