Circels with RPCP get mixed up

We have a 5-axis machine with tilting head (A) and rotary table (B) with Sinumerik 840D control.
We use the Sinumerik function TRAORI. In vericut this function is defined as RTCP & RPCP

When cutting a circle CLW on B0 it is outputted as a G2.
The same circle on B180 is put out by the post as a G3 and tuns also CLW.
All of this is normal and works fine in reallity.

In Vericut however, cutting half a circle, the circle on B180 is simulated correctly in the machine-view (rotation CLW), but in the workpiece-view the rotation is CCLW.
Looking at the Machine/Cutstock view the tool travels half a circle CLW but the circle cut in the material is the CCLW half of the circle!!!

Can anyone give me a tip on what is going on :?

Please send a set of files to support.uk@cgtech.com & we'll take a look.

The easiest method of collecting the files is:

Press the Blue diskette icon
Press Browse
Press the "New Folder" Icon (top right of the Copy Files To.. window)
Define a suitable directory into which VERICUT will copy the files and press OK
Press Copy

Zip the files and email then to us.
