    Default VCarve to Mach 3 issue

    Build a text file in Vcarve, the cut preview works great. But when g code is loaded in Mach 3, it cuts vertical instead of horizontal.

    Any ideas? Had machine a month and still trying to get it going.

    Thanks Jim

    Default Re: VCarve to Mach 3 issue

    You're machine is set up with the X and Y axis rotated 90° from the V Carve Screen.
    You have 3 options, maybe more:

    1) Stand on the side of the machine.
    2) Swap the axis in Mach3
    3) Rotate you V Carve File 90°
