Switch Address

This will switch two addresses with each other on the same line. Checking the Reverse Sign box will change the sign of that address after it is switched. If only one of the addresses is found on the line no action is taken.

MIRROR NC CODE:

To just reverse the sign on the X-axis: highlight the section you want to change, fill out dialog box "Switch X with X" and check the second "reverse sign".

With "Switch XYZ " utility, you can transform the code in 3D space by switching X,Y,Z and changing all the signs at the same time.

You can use "Rotate NC" to rotate the code 180 deg. to the other side of the axis, but that won't be the same as mirror because the part will be upside down.

Rotate NC will rotate all the arc moves to the right numbers. Switch Axis will just switch the signs, so any arc moves won't be right, and have to be fixed manually.

If a section of text is selected, the action will be performed only that selection, otherwise the action will start at the cursor location and continue to the end of the file.
