You can try Sheetcam. It can read a gcode file and then you can
manipulate the new gcode part. Like mirror etc.

Have a look at this it i am not sure if you can mirror with it i don't
think so, but it is python and may give some smarter people than me
ideas how Gene method may be automated. I have found this a very useful
tool along with his F engrave.
why not mirror parts using G41 G42 far quicker

hmm i dunno how cutter comp will mirror parts
i can be wrong ( again)
but
a historical note:
old AGIE 2D wire edm had front panel switches to 'flip X ' AND to 'flip Y'
it was to make setup easier.
it really just was a few logic gates in the stepper signals
so the idea might be of use,
a hardware

Zero documentation of that potential usage in the pdf docs? The next
person to see that code would shake his head at such convolution. I'm
looking at it, and would read that as
see the excellent book " cnc programming handbook 3ed by peter smid
page 409

The dialog box may give this impression, but in fact you can just click
the link "No thanks, continue to view" at the bottom, which will give
you the option to
theirs no account needed it's mine ! LOL

There are several ways to accomplish a mirror image machining, and
different methods will be better in different situations depending on
the machine's capabilities and the person's inclinations.
On my stepper driven CNC router, I have no limit switches because the
worst crash isn't fast enough
Is there a program, preferably for Windows, that can read a G-code file
and make an altered copy to produce a file that will produce a mirror
image of the original?
I've done one that took quite a lot of work to get right, now I need the
code to cut the same part for the other side of the car.

According to my PLM2000 manual those are cutter compensation. 50 and 51
for scaling, 68 and 69 for rotation. No mention of mirroring in the list
of supported G codes.
