Problem with text What am i doing worng?

Hi, i am pretty new to bob cadcam but i have watched the tutorial, and i still don't know what i am doing wrong.

I write the text, vectorise and post to program, simultae and everything looks fine. However when i actually try to cut on My syil x3 it comes out like a mirror image. Backwards.

Any ideas? I am at a loss.

does it jog in the proper direction?(from the softwares point of view)
if a positive y move moves the tool away from you, does a positive x move it to your right if looking in the direction of the y move?

Legion, you might check to see if the lathe function is turned on. I turned mine on when i first got the software, didnt realize it. Caused some problems when trying to mill. You might check it out.

Thanks guys, turns out that my Y axis is indeed backwards. As most of my parts have been symetrical it did not seem to affect them. Off to the the syil forum or the mach 3 forum to figure out how to turn them around.
