I recently finished converting my lathe to CNC so starting to try out the lathe module in V23. I watched the training video for the turning feature and threw this little doodle (BBCD fle attached) as a test but when I loaded it on the machine, it looked like the X axis was reversed. Basically it tried to position the tool at the back side of the stock, almost like it thought I was on a slant-bed turning center.
My lathe is a standard manual machine and I've set it up with X=0 as dead center and Z=0 as the face of the stock. A positive X move is backwards away from the center, so for instance X=1 would position the tool at the outside edge of a 2" circle.
I've never programmed or setup a CNC lathe before so I suspect I may be going about something the wrong way here. Should I be reversing my X axis direction, or did I just draw the part wrong? Thanks in advance!
