If you guys are like me, your X is your long axis...Every other CAM package i've used allows how i define my X and Y start point. Aspire only allows me to select a corner or center.

So i cant either swap my axies in mach, or, after im done designing, rotate my work 90.

No thanks.

After seeing some others on the Aspire forum having the same issues, i decided to post how i solved it. I'm guessing this will work on any post that comes with any vectric software, as i see this part of the files are all the same.

Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Vectric\YourSoftwarePackage\PostP\T hePostYouWantToFix

Open it up with Notepad.

Some posts use C in the top variable declarations, leave that be! Just swap the X and Y's as i did, and add the -1.

I take no responsibility for any mishaps! That being said, i hope this helps somebody. Always simulate/Check the output code before running! In my case, using mach3, it was pretty straightforward getting everything behaving properly.
