HELP...My Text Mirrored???
Hi everyone!!! I need TEXT help....
Working on a 3-piece walking stick using my recoil and the first piece has my wife's name (Lucie) engraved with a 60 degree v-bit going around the shaft. In both the flat and wrapped views after I run the toolpaths, the text seems normal. But after the job completed, her name was reversed, like in a mirror???
Was I supposed to reverse the text? It shows perfect on the previews??? And what if I do the text running vertical along the shaft?
Thanks...se pics below...

Re: HELP...My Text Mirrored???
You should look a little closer, the whole thing is reversed not just the text.
Easy fix, I'm sure IslaWW will get you going.

Re: HELP...My Text Mirrored???
Wow....as usual...what fantastic support from this forum. Gary Campbell walked me through a wincnc.ini edit (I saved the original of course) that fixed the counterclockwise rotation. All is good now. Thanks Gary!!!
Also thanks to IslaWW for also reaching out to help.
Wow!!!! What a resource this forum is.

Re: HELP...My Text Mirrored???
Thanks again Super Gary!!
Ran a test later and rotation is clockwise and text is readable...left to right. Beauty!
The world is good once again thanks to that masked stranger.

If the problem shows up again just place the finished object next to a mirror. The reflection will look correct.

Re: HELP...My Text Mirrored???
I once had the same problem. I had the motor end (head) of the rotary sitting at the foot of the CNC bed and was turning counterwise, so I rotated it end to end, so it would sit at the foot end of the bed, making it turn clockwise. Problem solved. Gary
