[PICMAN]

OK, IF NOBODY CAN HELP ME WITH MIRROR IMAGE, MAYBE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME WITH COORDINATE ROTATION?

HOW TO ROTATE MY PROGRAM 90° SO I CAN SAVE MAT.

I believe coordinate rotation and scaling is an option. The following block should rotate the program around X0 Y0 at an angle of 30 degrees.

G68 X0 Y0 R30.

G69 cancels coordinate rotation.

Our G-code editor can rotate or mirror your program. No need to do it on the control. Download it from:

http://www.sub-soft.com/download/Edi...itor_3.5.3.exe

the operator's manual is at:

Open your file with the "File/Open" selection, then click the pull-down menu called "ModifY" and select either "Mirror" or "Rotate". Once modified, use "File/Save As" to save it under a new name. If you don't get what you want on first try, click "Modify/Undo" to undo the modification and restore the program to it's previous state. There's a lot more other stuff in there also.

Be careful when running the rotated or mirrored file for the first time because some format issues may affect how your CNC runs the file.

Thanks Dan. I figured out the mirror image at the machine.
I also figured out that G68 is not an option on my machine, so the link to the editor is a nice gesture. I really appreciate it.
