Hi, i have finally finished the retrofit on my cnc router from Mach3 to Acorn. I ran the first test program (G code created in Vectric -file attached together with report) . The tool library is set up using a TT and using Z home as the reference. After setting the part zeros the program cuts exactly as it should and where it should but when the Z axis returns to Z home the WCS DRO is showing Z position as a negative value instead of a positive. Both X and Y read correctly. Is this something to do with the PP or am i missing something.
Regards
Charlie
