am i needing to put your .exe in that?
no


You need to use the Screen Editor on your Screen.

Use Show Hidden so you can see the GViewer Control.

Select the GViewer Control

Change the Var Parameter from -1 to 0

Click Set

Save the Screen File

Restart KMotionCNC to re-load the Screen

viewctrl Var 0.png

also i noticed my program is backwards
I think you want the Option | Tool Setup | Trajectory Planner | Lathe Option | X Positive Front

great instructions!
1 screen viewer made no difference.
2 the "X positive front" button has no change too.

i re-downloaded the newest version and input my data folder for settings to try that
just odd things those two

even with the "simple 2 axis lathe" screen the X positive front makes no change

screen viewer made no difference.
Please post the Screen file with the change.

the "X positive front" button has no change too
You don't see the X axis reversed as shown here? Note you must Show Front View XZ for the GViewer to update. Note also you must select a Tool Image with the appropriate orientation.
