Do you have default active spindle checked as right?

Just change the toolholder from right to left or from left to right.

Robh--Active spindle is checked

Just change the toolholder from right to left or from left to right.

I change the holder other way and it did the trick but when I do the backplot it shows the insert is at the top but actually on the machine insert is down. May be this is the way Mc will show or still I am missing with some thing?

You are right the colors are wrong but works.

I use it in this way when I need, no matter about colors.
