Hi
Just bought a used SB PRT 96x48 and I have a couple of items I could use some help

1) My orientation seems to be wrong, that is if I am facing the table I am 96 deep and 48 wide... my SB software is setup as 96 wide x 48 deep... I can compensate but I would really like to reset if it is easy

2) When I use VCarve my letters are backwards... again I can reflect before I cut but I would like to reset the settings to make it intuitive

Possibly the same issue. Appreciate any help or reference to documentation that can help

thanks
Brian Gudas

Actually it just takes a little getting used to. For instance when you go by a piece of ply you wouldn't ask for 96x48 piece, I ask for a 48x96 piece. Just think landscape in your software, not portrait! Anyhow, welcome aboard! The Vectric tutorials are terrific, I've had my machine for 12 years and I watch several of them (frequently). Russ
