No BOBCAD is putting out negative X values for your rough turn turn and grooving ops and positive X values for your parting. The G51 does indeed scale the axis but I was doing G51X-2 which ineffect reverses the axis so say a G0X-20 is in the Code, with a G51X-2 it would become G0X20.
The reason I needed X-2 is because you are in Dia mode, if it was in Rad mode it would just be G51X-1.
It may just be the way you are telling BobCAD your tools are set up, you may be saying they are approaching from the rear. Cant help with BobCAD setup though as I have never really used it, did have a look but there was no info at the time and BobCAD themselves were no help, all they wanted was to sell me the programme.
