Mastercam 8.1.1 and Okuma 4 axis mill

We have an Okuma MX55VB with a 4th (A) axis. Does anyone have a post that will support the M15/M16 output, so the A axis rotates in the correct direction? The M15/M16 defines which direction the axis rotates to the target A value. Which can be embarrasing if you're cutting a closed pocket and the only one M15/M16 code is output right at the start.

Basically, I need a post, or be able to modify my post, to be smart enough to output correct A axis direction M code in relation to the toolpath.

I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me smile.gif
