General Mach Discussion / Re: Change direction of the work area

Thanx guys.
I've tried a couple of things. I and I did get the swap axis to work. So that's good, and I can see in pins and ports that they have mowed from a to b, I and then back to a after reset swap. But the b won't home during doOEMbutton.. Yhy? The Uc300 shouldn't care about that, only what is locked in pins and ports ? Again, thanx all for your help!

Hello.
Seems like my UC300 isn't compatible with homing a slave axis separated.

I'm trying to swap axis, but can't get this to work either..
Does anyone have code for this.?
I have found some but they didn't work.

I've started with dooembutton for z then y then x with slave a.
Then swapaxis a with b and dooembutton for home b then reset swap..
..but no success

Big thanx..

Yes I have one for a and one for x.
They are tested and dedicated in ports and pins.

Hi. Now I got it to work. I and as you say. I was wrong about the coordinates.
Now I home at the front right corner and x+ takes me to the far right and y+ to the left 

But I can't get the homing with my slave axis to work. 
My slave A axis stops when the X is home. So if The x i not straight I won't compensate for this..

I tried to change to refcombination(9) but not.
Are they any script the home them separately?
Starts at the same time and stops at the sensor?

Thanx

Thanx Tweakie for your answer.

humm,  controversial topic??
Is it possible for you to suggest new topic so I can change, it is not meant to offend anyone. this is because my bad English. 

I bought a broken multicam machine that I built for MACH 3.
This has its homing in the lower right corner.
I have been using Sketchup with sketchucam.
When I export gcode after moving the zero point to the other side of the job, it becomes empty in gcode. but I can try to move the home position to the lower left corner, so maybe it will be better.

but if I change the Direction Active Low state in the Config. / Ports & Pins / Motor Outputs. it will be mirrored then?

Many thanks for the reply

Hi. First post so please be gentle. 
..and please excuse my bad english.

I can not find how to change direction of the work area?

When I run the machine to home pos, it goes to the lower right corner, which is correct.
But when I run a job I have to run to the upper left corner and put zero because the job would go toward + and not -.

Anybody know how to change this?
see attached image.

Many thanks
