    This is how my machine is, you can see the direction of text on a work piece. When I designed that workpiece on my computer the text would be showing left to right.

    Wait till your asked to design text on one piece at all different angles & upside down and raised & sunken then you might get fussy.

    If you were doing lots of it the same way then you might want to change but if you are working on different layouts I would say leave as is, quick rotate is select all press Ctrl +9 45 left, Ctrl +0 45 right

    Then just change your ports and pins settings (and slave settings), so that you have two motors on your Y axis, and one on the X.

    Surely that just rotates vectors that you have created on the workpiece it does not rotate the workpiece. When I looked into this originally I could not see or find (google) anyway of rotating the job/workpiece. It would be great if you could rotate everything on the XY Datum.

    You can use G68 in Mach3 to rotate the program 90°.

    BUt my preference would always be to configure the machine to match V-Carve Pro. Having to rotate anything should be a rare case, rather than the norm.
