Mirror transform fails on thread milling


SlaveCam

Recommended Posts

Doing some tombstone programming so have to rely on transformations heavily. 

- Two threadmilling ops as source (right-handed thread)

- Translate the previous two ops N times

- Mirror the source ops AND the translation op

Why, regardless of mirror parameters (NCI/Geometry/reverse order whatsoever) it always creates left-handed threads for the mirrored translate toolpath whereas the mirrored source ops are right-handed? (this is not a post issue as the toolpath wireframe is incorrect)
