    AutoLaser 2.1.7 - Reverse before Saving

    Not sure if all Laser software is like this but if I draw or type any text in AutoLaser it has to be Flipped otherwise it engraves/Cuts the results backwards. So it I type CNCZone and save to Laser the Laser cuts/engraves it as enoZCNC ... Can't find if there is a simple method of automatically flipping it rather then remember and learn that everything I do has to be flipped before saving?

    Please, you need to post more info.
    Is Autolaser do the job in a normal way anytime ? or for the first time es reversed ? just text or any figure, rectangles, etc ?
    When you do a "home" you will note any changes of head movements ? the head changed the point (home) ?
    First of all I will check the system setup in Autolaser and try to find "flip x axis" or "flip horizontally" or something similar

    Hi ken,

    I'm having a similar issue. If I draw a rectangle in the top right (AutoLaser) the laser runs it OK.

    If I then add a circle to the top left the laser is flipping/mirroring the file.

    Is this the same as your issue?

    Thank you.

    Yes I went through that as well, Kept on forgetting to Flip everything before lasering. Here is the Solution.

    Make sure the "Ïnside to Out" is checked under "Download/<<" see attached Image
