Reply with QuoteTo me, a conventional router has the X move from left to right.
No, you can't change the coordinate system in Mach3. X is always left to right. But you can change the hotkeys for jogging with Config > Hotkeys.
Router vs Mill conguration?
Can Mach3 be configured in a conventional router style, with the x axis forward and back, and the y axis side to side?
I can get the machine to move and jog correctly with the arrow keys by switching the output pins or switching the motor connectors in the drivers, but the sceenset DRO display is still wrong.
Alternately, can the outputs from the arrow keys themselves be switched in the computer?

Re: Router vs Mill conguration?
Thanks Ger, that worked great!
But.... the motion in the table display screen is still reversed :-(
I'm just going to bite the bullet, retrain my brain, and go with the mill convention, there more important battles to fight, Unless theres a way to change the display screen direction?
