CMES keeps track of the last data measured by placing the info into the D(nn) variables.
-X- value = D10
-Y- value = D20
-Z- value = D30
etc.
You may also create and use R(nn) variables.
R1=1
R2=1.5
etc.
If I understand your problem correctly
then the code below should help you out.
PT \! TAKE THE POINT
SP,100 \! SAVE AS POINT 100
R1=D30 \! GET THE -Z- VALUE
R1=R1*-1 \! CHANGE THE SIGN
Z100=R1 \! REPLACE THE + WITH -
NOTE THE EXAMPLE ASSUMES A POSITIVE VALUE TO START WITH < + multiplied by - = NEGATIVE>
