    Mach3 showing wrong side of work piece?

    HI, Guys I,m new to Mach3. I,m using an older micro proto running Mach3.
    When I,m drilling a bolt pattern the machine is drilling the hole on the left side
    of a plate Mach thinks it,s on the right side.

    Axis scaling?

    Check your axis scaling in Mach3. It should be "1" and not "-1". Hope it helps

    Or, you have your machine set up with one axis backwards.
