    Just text or everything? That usually means your axis are backwards.

    I installed encoders and messed around with homing and motor reversal's and Im sure that motor reversal's are not them problem and Ive noticed that only text is reversed from what is on screen display? piss me off.

    What are you creating the code with? Is the text backwards in the code? Mach doesn't know what's text and what's not, so if it's just the text. it's probably in the g-code.

    I took a file that worked before just fine. ran on same machine, But after encoder was installed and some pin configuration and now text is upside down. I changed z axis homing origin and thought this maybe problem. still there, i no its upside down because if I go to toolpath tab and rotate so as to locate z as faceing down the text is correct. What the f***
