    I'm trying to run a program that came to me in a DXF file. it will upload perfectly, but I need to switch the x and y axis of this because my y is long and my x is short.

    The piece I'm trying to run is about 24 in one way and 40 in long and and the program downloads it with the 40 in on the x-axis.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? Lol

    If using Vectric products, highlight the .dxf file then press either the 9 or 0 button. that will rotate it 45degrees each press if I remember right. It is a trick I learned recently that I wish I had known 4 years ago. If using Fusion 360, Modify --> Move/copy --> select the whole dxf and you can rotate it in any direction. Those are the only two I use.
