This can happen if you have swapped the X and Y axis drive cables on the Shark controller.

Some additional notes and questions:
1. For others: FYI the Shark controller and control panel are nothing like Mach3.
2. If the VCarve preview is correct, it is not a VCarve problem. It is a machine control problem.
3. Is it only this job that is reversed? If so, it doesn't really make sense.
4. What changes in your machine have you made recently?
5. What happens when you jog Y ? Your gantry (bridge) should move. If something else moves, the drive motor cables are plugged into the wrong sockets.
