I have a question concerning the tool path window. When I import Gcode into Mach the origin point is usually in the bottom left of the window. The machine however reverses the origin to the top right. ie; rear right of the table. This occurs on two separate Mach installations. What am I doing wrong?, or is this normal. I have compensated for this but if this is something I can correct then it would be great to get it right. Thanks, |

| Sounds like your machine is set up backwards. You can reverse the motors using homing/limits screen, and checking the "reverse" boxes.

Thanks Gerry, This was my first thought. The machine operates properly with the keyboard and controller kaypad. Left arrow the table moves left, Top arrow the table moves away from me and page up the head moves up. This happens on both my Sherline Mill and a larger Novakon Mill. Separate computers etc. |

| I don't use a mill, but the left arrow should move the tool left, not necessarily the table. I think you're machine is set up rotated 180°, as both the X and Y are backwards.
