Alittle help needed with signs

[davydo]

Im a new sb user and I have been playing with making a sign, well I made the sign, but the words come out backwards... I have followed the directions in the manual and still BACKWARDS !!

When you say backwards do you mean it reads right to left or do you mean the letters are like holding it up to a mirror. if like a mirror check in your set up box when you start your file and see if there is a negative mark in front of the x proportion

Dave, Post a picture of the finished sign and if possible the partworks or vcarve file and I'm sure someone can help you get to the bottom of the problem.

Does it look correct in the partworks or vcarve preview? How does it look in the shopbot preview screen?

Dave, You may have set your X axis up wrong. Is you Home position in the front left corner of the machine? In keypad mode, does the right arrow key move the carriage to the right and are the numbers increasing? If not, you can type VU and put a negative sign before the X unit value.
