Rotary Table Machine Simulation

While doing a machine simulation on a 5-axis rotary table the A-axis in the Display Coordinates area is not showing what the NC Program area coordinates are showing, for example the program rotates from A-270 to A-90 but the Display Coordinates area shows that it goes from A-270 to A-540 and simulates it as the Display Coordinates shows, so that I was thinking that the program was going to output what I was seeing and I have spent hours trying to force the correct rotation, only to find out by simulating step by step and looking at the NC Program area that the program was rotating the way I was wanting it to the whole time. Does anyone know why the Display Coordinates and the NC Program area coordinates are not showing the same thing? I am thoroughly confused and have wasted a lot of time because the simulation was incorrect.

I am using NX 7.5.

Thanks
