The G50 command allows you to cancel the scaling (mirroring) mode from computer numerical control systems (CNCs).

For each of the axes, it is possible to specify a scaling factor.

An example of using the G50 command (G-code) below:

N001 G0 X2 Y2                ;Rapid position to point (X position is 2, Y position is 2.)
N002 G50 X5.0                ;Activate scaling on X axis (scale factor = 5)
N003 G0 X4.0                  ;Rapid position to point (X position is 20 = 4 * 5.)
N004 G50                        ;Cancel Scaling

Enabling the scaling/mirroring mode of a computer numerical control (CNC) system is performed with the G51 command.
