I recently upgraded to PP V1.9.11 from 1.8 and now I am having issues with conversational threading.
My threading tool is on a quick change tool post so all the X diameters are negative, but what happens is that the X movement is backwards, the retract is toward the part and the threading is away from it.
I am pretty sure my tool is setup the same as when it worked in the past. But then there is a good chance I am doing something wonky. The tool Orientation is set to 8, which is correct.
