How to flip the whole optical system


Forum|alt.badge.img

Dear Sir/Madam

Some times it is easy to designed a system in reverse way. What we need at the image space, will model into object sapce and what are there in object space can model into image space.

I have desined a Ramsden eyepice in reverse order using two plano convex lens. Aperture type is entrance pupil diameter with 3mm Dia., and 3 fields points are there 0 degree,  5 degree, -5degree. 

Now i wish to flip the whole system, how can I do this? 

I am attaching the zemax file of eyepiece design.

Thanks

The Reverse Elements tool in the Lens Data Editor menu can be used to reverse any sequential group of surfaces. Before using it, I suggest fixing the semi-diameters of the surfaces so they are not changed by the action of automatic solves. After using it, you will usually need to change the system specifications for aperture and fields for the system to make sense.
