    Where to change axis directions?

    I have my axis directions setup wrong in Mach3 and cannot see where to reverse them anywhere. It was probably right in front of me!

    When I jog X- it goes away from the bottom left corner. And I may have Y set wrong too.

    Thanks,

    Warren

    Hi Warren:

    Change it in the Config/homing and limits. Check the "reversed" box..

    Thanks

    What is your reference? The motion is based on tool travel. A +X tool motion on my cnc machine is caused by a table motion in the opposite direction (-X). Comming from a manual machine this seamed to be backwards to me at first but it all makes sense now.
