This is really two separate problems. Reversing the direction of travel of a motor is done by changing the sign of the scale, exactly as you did. Reversing the effect of the keyboard arrows and/or the preview image is a separate issue involving the GUI. I don't know if AXIS can do the "tool on top" style display that would be appropriate for your lathe.
