    In Mach3, either will do, as long as you configure the software accordingly!

    It's not what you take away, it's what you are left with that counts!

    Just go into Mach's Config menu, under Ports & Pins, and change the 'Dir Low Active' between Low and High to switch direction in any axis.

    The better way is to go to Config> Home/Limits and check the "Reverse" box.
