Fadal 5 Axis signed direction rotary

Trying out  the generic 5 axis post.

I have everything figured out, except 1 thing. The rotary axis commands on the Fadal require a Signed direction. For example:

If you cut at B0, then want B90 your axis command would be B90.

However, if you are cutting at B90 and then want to cut at B45, you must enter B-45. 

That would keep the rotary from hitting the table. Simply putting in B45 would send this machine 315 degrees around.

I got this to work, except after drill cycles it is not outputting the negative B0 to return like it does in all other paths. Does anyone know where to find this in the post?
