Help Lazycam importing DXF in reverse/mirror image
« on: June 08, 2021, 10:28:39 AM »
Hi everyone, 
I'm new to Lazycam and cnc in general, and am hoping someone can help explain the following.
When importing .dxf into Lazycam the image gets reversed/mirrored and then lazycam posts the G-code in this way, and  MAch3 cuts the mirror of what I want.
So I actually reversed the image in a new .dxf file, to see if it would load the correct way, but when it loaded in to Lazycam, it did not change it???   (stayed reversed!!)

The strange things is it doesn't do this with every file I load, so Im' really at a loss, and cant find how to correct.  My .dxf files were created the same way via inkscape, (which is what I use generally)  and saved as Autocad DXF R12.

Can anyone offer any advice please.  Thanks
