General Mach Discussion / Re: X and Y Axis go in wrong direction

Ok I figured it out.
What happened is that at one point in the past, I must have accidentally changed the axes and immediately after closed Mach 3 down. When I re opened it a little while later and the axes were in revers, I proceeded to switch them , however, I did not close out of Mach 3 and save the settings, so for some weird reason, some of the times it would be in the correct configuration, while other times it was not. I just changed everything and closed out of mach 3 and re-opened it 5 times and all 5 times it was perfect. Problem is solved.
About the frequency of the smooth stepper. I changed it and everything seems to work the same, no performance loss or gain. A window was prompting me to re-tune the axes, but they seem to be jogging appropriately in sound and feel.. Should I still tweak them a bit?
Thanks again for your help Hood.
