Hi Everyone,

   New user here and I"m missing something and can't find it. When using my milling machine
the text that is being engraved is being cut from right to left, I would like it to be left to right.
Can anyone give me a clue how to make this happen? I really appreciate your help.

I found the problem, I check for past postings about the same problem and found I needed to
go to config/ports & pins/motor outputs/Dir low active for x axis and check for opposite of what
is was.

Thanks
Geo

Hi,, Geo

On the main screen next to Axis Pos Display, "Scale" click on the +1.0000 display, Enter -1.0 hit Enter key, this will flip your Axis.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hey Chip,

   Thanks for the reply, I have the axis going the right direction now.
 I see its going to take time to learn all this.

Thanks again
Geo

To change the direction of the axis in the setup of the machine use the Homing and Limits Revers Axis setting.
