Hi I need some advice. When using V carve desktop I input the material dimensions, design the drawing and run the tool paths save the g code and take the code to the machine, set the zero position and run the program. The problem is that the drawing is not in the right position on the material when it cuts. I hope someone will understand what I an trying to say and be able to help. Thanks

Hi, I am new to the forum. I have a DIY CNC Dave Gatton Sidewinder. I have a question , I am using Fusion 360 for my design software and Mach3 for the CNC. When I run the simulation in Fusion 360 every thing seems ok. When I take the G-code to mach3 and run the program, my Z is backwards. it goes down when it should go up. Any help would be appreciated.
