See if this shows you what I have going on. It actually looks as if the arch of the wrapping is backwards. if the arch wash the other direction, then it would be correct. But I'm not sure why it is even arched  backwards, it is fine in fusion 360.

I agree Gerry, everything I have read says to reverse direction of the axis. I have tried that though & regenerated the tool path & it still displays the same results. It maybe something in Fusion 360 that is different, but I have researched answers there too & have came up with the same issue. May have to just resort back to my old Gorton P 1-2 pantograph if I figure this out.

A little more info about this. I used Fusion 360 to draw the logo up & write the g-code. the simulation in Fusion 360 looks perfect & the way it should be, but when I pull the g-code into Mach3 the tool path is backwards to what it should be. I have not actually tried to cut the logo yet though, but I assume it will be backwards also since it is on the tool path of Mach3. I have been banging my head on this for a few weeks now to bull headed to give up, but I nothing I have tried or researched on You Tube has gave me the answer to this now very frustrating dilemma. I still have some hair left & am trying to keep from pulling it out.
