In AutoPIPE, for anchors, we are reporting the forces acting on the anchor, not the reactions of the anchor, so the reported values can be used to design the anchor directly. The program help states, "Anchor Forces - Anchor forces and moments are output in the global X-Y-Z coordinate system. The forces act on the anchor, and are positive if they act in the positive global coordinate directions. Moments, similarly, act on the anchor, positive according to the right-hand rule convention." Simply reverse all the values to get it into a reaction sign convention.
