    Scan is reversed with tormach scan software

    HI, I have downloaded the scanning software on the website, I did scan an object but when the cad open, all picture are reversed, I mean photo on the left should be on the right and those on the right should be on the left so this is not usable.

    My starting point is on the bottom left corner of the object.

    The scan direction is OK, going 8in to the right like programming and 2.5in to the top.

    I don't know if I missed some setting.

    Thanks for any input.

    Jeff

    Yes, I saw that, I have aligned the cross hair with the slot of the table but did not know that you have to adjust for the direction, meaning plus or minus 180 degree

    Thanks for your time, Jeff

    I think I will not use it after all.

    Some computer stability and lots of others problem.

    But will give it another try another day.

    For scanning something simple, easier for me to take a picture and sketch it with Solidworks but for precision scanning, will try again
