    Change Mechanical Orientation?

    Hi all.

    I have a Guangdaly CNC machine with NC studio as the program.
    Is there any way I can change the mechanical orientaion so the zero point is at the direct diagonal opposite? So the starting point is directly opposite?

    Any into would be greatly appreciated.

    If you were using Mach3 to drive it, just set your zero position to the other corner then change the motor step direction on the Motor output pins. I am only a novice myself, but I would think that would swap everything around. I presume NC Studio has something similar. Try without a tool first.
