Hood,
 
X moving to the right is negative and moving left is positive.
Y moving table to me is negative and moving away is positive.
Z knee going down is positive and up is negative.
Is this correct??What do i do if the dro on mach registers a movement opposite of what it should be?

Is this the correct homing.All these examples are based off standing in front of the machine.X all the way to the right and when moving left will build in the positive number.Y all the way out towards me.When moving towards the machine numbers will build in the positive.Z all the way up.As the knee  drops numbers will build in the??

Hood,
 You answered a question a while ago about adjusting velocity and acceleration till you skip steps then slightly back off.I am trying to understand what you mean about missing steps and what i should be looking for.
