Hood,
If the part is in the machine like the pic, and drawn/selected in your CAM as 0,0 as shown, does the crosshairs on the Mach toolpath jog Y+ towards the front of the machine with the DOWN arrow on the keyboard ?
Can see where to set the zero point up in SheetCam but not the directions.....still looking though.
Will try Vectric next.
Thanks
No, the Y+ should still be from the back of the vice up the way in your drawing, the way you have Y+ would be Y-
If you can set an origin in your CAM I would imagine it should also be possible to tell it which way X and Y are although I have never used SheetCAM so cant say for sure.
If you can do that then all the Y moves in that part would be negative and all X positive.
Just wondering what would happen if you scaled the Y axis as -1, I do that at present on the lathe when I am using the front post as Turn doesnt support both Front and Rear toolposts yet, Rev4 should
