fusion 360 and how it post
In drawing (xy origin 1) is a part that I have designed and is placed on the mill where the coordinate are positioned on the top right of the mill. Then I zero the x y coordinates as G0 X0 is the top right as is G0 Y0 (on their respective edges). When I post the code to the jump drive it post as all positive xy coordinates pic (as posted in fusion). However, to get it to run I have to change the positive xy coordinates to negative.
Why is fusion posting (better question is how am I screwing this up) in a positive numbers when no part being cut is in any xy positive path.

Hello!
You're looking at the part "backwards" inside Fusion 360 ![]()
The arrows point in the positive direction, so what you're looking at is this:
But what you really want is this:
See how the the part now lies in quadrant 3 if you were to look at it like a graph, meaning all operations will be negative X and Y values. I made a crude graph to help you visualize what I mean:
Give that a shot and let me know if you have more questions!
Best!
