Cut is reversed from what visualizer shows

Community Support ❓ Something's Up

I have a Genmitsu ProverXL, using VCarve Pro and Gsender 1.5.7. the issue i’m having is in VCarve my image looks correct, in Gsender it looks fine, but the cut itself comes out mirrored for some reason. example: outline of the state of TX where as we know the panhandle is on the top left side of the state, what gets cut is TX with the panhandle to the top right. I know i can go into my VCarve and do a mirror function so it shows the opposite unit it actually cuts but that gets confusing when your project has multiple sheets with different things. i think this might be a Vcarve issue and not Gsender as i have a send sender and its now doing the same thing were up until about 2 weeks ago was doing just fine.

any input or help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

forgot to mention that i noticed this a few weeks ago after working with EasyCarve. before that all was good.

Sounds like your x-axis is reversed. If you didn’t rewire something, then it’s likely your $3 setting is the issue. What’s your $3 value? If it’s an even number, add one. If it’s odd, subtract one.

here are all my settings. I did make one change since this ask, and that was changing my Y direction to normal. as far as wiring, i’ve done nothing since putting this together about 2 years ago. I just ran that image after that change and now it cuts correctly. I have moved over to you new Gsender Edge 3. I like it (so far). so much better than UGS sender by far.

@lkmcclain7357 Do I understand that your X mirror issue is resolved, Larry?

Since you are new to gSender, be aware that Edge is the beta version of gSender. So, be prepared for possible glitches.
You can run gSender 1.5.7 on the same PC. That is the release version.
