    Text on Rotary Axis is upside down

    Another new Problem or hurdle to jump over!!!!

    I do have my Fourth axis turning but now I have set up some simple text to be cut on a 2 inch bar and everything looks normal in the simulator BUT, when i load the Gcode into Mach3 it shows up and cuts upside down and backwards. What change do I need to make to get this to cut correctly?

    The rotary A axis is on the left side of the mill table and parallel with the X axis if that makes a difference. And if I remember correctly when I rotate it to the plus + side it goes clockwise as I look at it and minus- it turns counter clockwise.

    I would appreciate any advice that anyone could give me.

    Thanks

    Jack

    You could change the motor directions to make it read right. It sounds like A and X are probably reversed from what the simulator is expecting.
