hi to all, newbie here, please please help. my problem is that i wish to create left and right handed versions of a program, i already have the 'left hand' proven through and working well, however, i need to have a program that creates the 'right hand', a 'mirrored image/part/component'. i have looked through the help files only to find 'mirror part 10-4' but this does not shed a light on the subject so i am stuck!!!!!! i am using mach3 mill, can anyone assist. many thanks in anticipation Barry

Try scaling the X or Y axis by -1.
