Cutting out as a mirror image

[Jeepn2]

New to CNC and little time to play with my system, running Mach3, Sheetcam, Corel Draw X5, or Inkscape as needed. I believe my problem is just a setting but have no idea where to start. When I try cutting anything out with any writing it is cutting out as a mirror image, the bottom side will have the wording where it can be read but it should be on top, could it be I have my motors reversed?

Thanks for any help

Take a look at this thread that someone else just asked. It might help you out.

I had this happen to me years ago on my Router CNC machine. I never realized I had something wrong until I went to route a sign with letters on it. It's been a long time, and I really do not remember for sure what the problem was, but I'll think about it a little longer.

Thanks ScottF, looks like the same issue I have, it will be another week before I get back home and make some changes.

No, worries. Let us know once you get it figured out.

Finally got back home and checked my Y drives and they were reversed - all working great now - I think the cut quality is probably a little better also. Thanks for your input/help.

Glad you got it sorted out! Good news about the cut quality too!
