Negative value for rapid position with Y axis --- please help

1

after I performed rapid position to the front-left — front-center — front-right
The Y showing -27.58
why it is showing Negative values??? What should it display
I am running on a SO3 XXl
below is my log setting

can anyone get this setting correct and can you please tell me what the number should be for the (9 positions of the rapid position should be and how to edit to correct the setting for them.

Thank You

Those values are shown relative to the currently set zero — move to where you want zero to be and then set it.

Please see:

Hello Adam. Sorry for not understand what you want me to do, pls give me step by step instruction

This confused me originally. The Home position is to the back right when you’re facing the machine. So negative X is to the left and negative Y is towards you. From Home you will always be moving in a -X and -Y direction. Does that make sense? By “facing the machine,” I mean you are on the same side of the X rail as the spindle.

Thanks for the repond to my post. I am so confuse, just get involved with CNC less than 3 months ago, and never know anything about CNC at all. I appreciate all the help from you guys. It is so hard to get a hang on, Will be able to try to cut maybe in the next few days and it will be on wood, before trying to attempt to cut aluminum so God help and lead me.

This picture helped me with XYZ positive and negative direction, from zero.hand

You can cut blocks of stryrofoam the first time, so you dont have to stress too bad.

I found this a most valuable resource when I started with CNC. Very basic and written by our own Edward Ford.
