How to transform the CoordinateSystem from LPS to RAS

Support

Hi!
I am a new 3D Slicer user, I want to ask how to tranform CoordinateSystem from LPS to RAS in 3D Slicer 4.11.
I use the 3D Slicer to locate the depth electrodes, and I found the CoordinateSystem in 3D slicer was RAS,but when I save the marker as .fcsv files, the CoordinateSystem changed to the LPS.
However, I need the RAS coordinate. How I could save marker in RAS CoordinateSyste?

#####
# Markups fiducial file version = 4.11
# CoordinateSystem = LPS
# columns = id,x,y,z,ow,ox,oy,oz,vis,sel,lock,label,desc,associatedNodeID

Slicer displays RAS in the interface but saves in LPS for broader compatibility. You can just negate the first two elements of each coordinate to convert. Look at a few coordinates between your file and Slicer to confirm.
