Machine play going from opposite sides (Example B0 to B180) will not rotate.

Machine play going from opposite sides (Example B0 to B180) will not rotate.

I have a working kinematic model that will work fine as long as you do not immediately rotate to the opposing side.  If I start machining on B0 and go to B180, the Z travels right through the part and continues machining without rotating the B axis.  But if I go from B0 to B90 and then on to B180, it will rotate as intended.  If I go from B90 to B270, it also will go straight through the part.  My "MACH_ZERO" CSYS match each other, I can't think of anything I have done wrong on my end.  Any ideas?  Or is this just another thing that Creo offers but is broken?

Also, if I start on B180 as my first machining side, then with all following rotations, the tool will go through the part.  I put together the following demonstrations.

Thanks for the suggestion, and that probably is the correct answer.  However, when we set that to cylinder, it does not code out correctly.  As far as I know, this is a known issue at Austin NC the last I talked to them.
