Function: This command reverses the CNC program and sets the path elements in reverse order. The block numbers of the CNC program are also reset automatically.
Call: Menu bar: .
Requirement: A CNC path is open in the editor.
Reversing the CNC path is possible under the following conditions:
If preprocessing was selected for the CNC program, then the G41/G42 blocks are processed in the reverse program: G41 becomes G42 and G42 becomes G41. The direction of the correction is also reversed.
If the CNC program contains arcs that are defined with an opening angle (parameter K for 2D elements or parameter T for 3D elements), then the command does not generate exact reversed arcs.
If the CNC path was programmed by the following means, then reversing is not possible.
No reversing when
Using axis A, B, or C
Using Variables
Calling step suppression
