    quadrant change / reverse spindle?

    My mill is almost back up and running after a computer crash. If I do a simple program in quadrant 1 (x and y both positive numbers) in Cad. I then move to CAM and everything is good. I run a post processor and all is good on the simulator. I then open up mach3 and load the program. The spindle runs in reverse and the program flips and starts to run in quadrant 3 (both negative numbers). It is like it has mirrored itself. This never happened until the new computer. Is there a program error or am I just doing something wrong? This sounds strange but it is happening.

    Hello,

    This sounds like a MACH3 setup problem. Could the mach experts help you here.

    I am not sure if it is a Mach or Dolphin problem. If I run a program using a wizard from the Mach programs everything runs fine.
