I see what you mean. It might just be me. I am used to profiling machinery and we always use the rail as the x axis and it is always head on on the screen as well. I am getting used to it slowly. I have plans to mount the pc under the frame of the machine and to mount the screen and keyboard on an arm at the front left corner of the bed so that the pc screen will be at 45 degrees to the machine so then I will be looking at the machine and the screen in the same direction so to speak so the machine movement will follow the screen movement.
