xyz orientation issue

[marbles]

Hi,

Just did my first cut with the new cnc and was surprised to see the orientation and the image mirrored, as in diagram 2. Whereas I expected it to cut as in diagram 1. Its as if the machine thinks its underneath cutting up..or something?

As I stand at the front of the machine I wish to have it home to front left. I want forward and back to be the X (+ A ), I want left to right to be Y axis and Z up and down. The keyboard jog arrows suggest that what Mach3 thinks its doing, (however the table view could be as if your underneath the table looking up). I made up a quick file in Vectric in the aspect and expectation it would cut in the orientation as in diagram 1. However it descided to cut as in diagram 2 which rather threw me.

I use Mach3 software and Vectric Aspire CAM, where should I start to troubleshoot this?

Thanks
