Hello peeps,

I have a Mori Seiki SL3-H lathe with a Fanuc 3TF controller. Beautiful little machine, but it seems that the x-axis is inverted (by design).

It uses the following G-Codes (see G02 and G03 in particular).

G Code Function
G00 Positioning
G01 Linear Interpolation
G02 Circular Interpolation (counterclockwise)
G03 Circular Interpolation (clockwise)
G04 Dwell
G20 Inch data input
G21 Metric data input
G27 Zero return check
G28 Zero return
G29 Return from zero
G32 Thread cutting
G40 Tool tip R compensation cancel
G41 Tool tip R compensation right
G42 Tool tip R compensation left
G50 Absolute coordinates. Max Spindle Speed Setting
G70 Finish cycle
G71 OD, ID rough cutting cycle
G72 End surface rough cutting cycle
G73 Closed loop cutting cycle
G74 End surface rough cutting off cycle
G75 OD, ID cutting off cycle
G76 Thread cutting cycle
G90 Cutting cycle A
G92 Thread cutting cycle
G94 Cutting cycle B
G96 Surface speed constant control
G97 Surface speed constant control cancel
G98 Feed per time
G99 Feed per spindle rotation

I am looking for a piece of software that will allow me to simulate my code and/or design parts on it, maybe with some conversational programming methods.

Any recommendations?

I have been told that I could theoretically use a regular program like G Wizard and then use another program (forgot which one) to swap the G02 and G03 around and even change the signs on X... But I don't know!

Thank you
