The axis with the Blue arrow is backwards. Reverse it.

It is driving me nuts! Help

How do i reverse it!
Sorry about the email message

I am trying to learn Mack3 and the manual does not go deep enough to answer such basic stuff but I will get it one way or another. I really appreciate your help

Look in the homing/limits screen. I don't have Mach3 on this PC, but I think it's there.

The Y feed direction changes but the Display does not! Could there be a setup or a profile problem?
When you jog the Y axis, the display should now show it moving in the opposite direction, right? Did you close and restart Mach3 after making the change?

Yes it did! however, when I regen the the toolpath the object appears at the bottom below and to the right of Y and below X. No matter how I send the gcode to the machine it sets it to the bottom right?
Very perplexing
Is the gcode all -Y's? I think it's just an issue with where 0,0 is in your code vs the machine. Make sure your gcode isn't going to run off your table.

I am having this issue with my mill as well. I can swap things around to get it in the correct orientation, but then my jog keys are reversed. I have two choices I think. Change the key strokes with Keygrabber or draw my parts and then orient them in Turbocad to conform with the machine. This is how I have done it so far, but the parts are sitting correctly on the machine now, even though the are reversed in the drawing. That could get pretty confusing down the road. I will try the keygrabber and see how that works.
Are you sure they are correct on your machine? With a mill, you look at which way the tool moves, not which way the table moves.

On my router, I look on from the left side of the table. Zero is the lower left or closest to me at left on the gantry and X at left. The tool does all the moving on the router.
On the mill, it only moves up and down. The table is doing the moving. Zero is generally in the center of both X and Y. When I center the parts in Turbocad on the zero, then everything works as expected, with the exception of being upside down. My drawing and text has to be inverted 180 degrees in order for me to look at the part right side up looking from the front of the mill. I can swap the active high/low settings for direction, but this makes the jogging on X and Y reversed to the direction of the arrow keys. The right arrow key should move my table in that direction. It does, but only when my drawing is inverted 180 degrees.
It is a little confusing.
