Hi,
I don't know when I will be able to add a C axis to the lathe configuration, but in the meantime you should be able to customize the mill type to do what you want.

By using the customize feature of the machine configuration you can add simple math operations to axis addresses, like so:

This will multiply each X axis address value by 0.5 as the program is plotted, this does not change your program file in any way.

Thanks,
Scott
