Why does the cutting and engraving graphics reverse（mirror）

Improper setting of the software.


Solution:

In RDWorks:

For old versions: Click “Config” – “system setting” on the menu bar. This dialog box will appears.

Make sure “Axis X mirror” is unticked, and “Axis Y Mirror” is must ticked.

 

 

For new versions: Click "Config"-"System setting" -"Configuration" on the menu bar, this dialog box will appears. Make sure the position of "Homing position" and "Laser head" at the left upper corner.
