That is correct.
Weakness? maybe but its just the way things are done at the moment. I use the Industry Controls version of Mach on one of my mills. When wanting to change any config settings you have to first choose to enable it from the Config menu then you can gain access to normal config settings. Once you have done what you want then you have to save and close the config options before you can do anything. This is the way it has to be to save config without shutting down Mach and is likely the way it will be handled in Mach4 as well.

That sounds good, thanks for the help.
I changed the dir setting and restarted mach, all works fine. However I took a look at my settings and it seems to me they are a bit of a mess. This is what I found:
Motor Home/Soft Limits:
Reversed Home Neg
x tick cross
y cross tick
z tick cross
Motor Outputs
Dir Low Active
x cross
y tick (after recent change)
z cross
It looks to me like some of those settings cancel each other out (if that makes sense) but I can't figure out which. At the moment, Z increases as the head rises, X increases as table moves to left and Y increases as the table moves out away from the column. The orientation of the work matches that shown in Draftsight and Sheetcam, but I can't help thinking there's something wrong somewhere. Any thoughts?
Thanks
