    Z axis alphacam - Xilog plus

    Hello.
    I just buy a MORBIDELLI author 600kxl that goes with the XiLog plus.
    however'm also trying to work with alphacam 2013 r1 as I have to record some logos that I have in dxf.
    however, once I get to do the machining (more or less) to open it in the XiLog me appear as if I was watching the board from below, ie, all letters as if in a mirror.
    not know if I've explained well ... Maybe it's an issue of the origin coordinate, since I "zipcode cn for each panel uses bottom left point x0 y0" appears Although then I've been moving the origin of the work table for all the sites out well. any ideas?
    I put a couple of photos for you to see my problem.
    Thank you in advance.

    The origin of the Morbidelli and Xilog is back left, so I think your Alphacam post needs to flip the coordinates.

    Thank you very much for your quickly.
    How I can change the coordinates of Alphacam?
    I tried to change the coordinate origin in the plane of work but in the end I always get upside down.

    I don't think you can in AlphaCAM. You need to do it in the post processor. I don't know how it's done, as we got out post that does this from SCM.
    Everything I do in AlphaCAM has the origin at the bottom left, but when the code is output, the post "flips" it.

    You could mirror the entire job after creating and out put that which would be mirrored on the machine to cut correctly.
