Reverse Z-axis in setup

Post by robin.jonsson.4276 »

In Job edit under the setup tab, I try to get the correct 'G54 machine offset'/'starting point'. But I can't reverse the Z-axis. I need to flip it 180 degree. I don't see a button for it and I don't have any circular face towards that direction I can select.

Creating a job creates a clone of the model, to be found in the tree Job->Model->Model-XYZ. That's what gets milled and you can turn it 180° to mill from the other side.

Thank you! Didn't know flipping the placement -> Position would change the origin direction. It works now
