You need to mirror one of your axis

Does it actually cut mirrored, or just show on the display mirrored? If it's just the display, it's something about an origin point on the controller. I had the same problem, but it's been so long ago I don't remember what setting I had to change.

I just received a new Laser OMT 60watt. It came with RDWorks V8.01.48-20200505. When I try to cut or engrave an object it changes it to a mirror image at the Ruida control I have watched videos and read a variety of information that talks about unchecking the X axis mirror box. I cant get to that tab. When I go to Config I get a drop down screen with only one tab called Software. I see and read that others have two tabs, one being General Settings. Can anyone help me with this? It has quickly humbled my feeling of technical prowess.
It shows inverted on the Laser LCD screen and actually cuts inverted.

So the screen on the controller and the actual work are inverted from RDWorks? Or are they rotated?

You could very well have the 'old' .48 that was released to early and had errors. I got a copy of that from one of the vendor sites and had to de-install it. I'm running V8.01.49-20200518 at my desk. That puts it a little more than three months older. I'd have to go out to the laser and see what version of .48 I have there but I believe it has the same menus. I'll check later and update this. The file name in my download directory says 20200418 and that came direct from Ruida. I deleted the problem child so I wouldn't accidentally install it.
I have the versions I use on my Google temp page. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing
The .48 is down in the pics area with a green envelope. If you want to play with the .49 beta with the camera feature it's at the top in the download listing. The .49 is still deep in beta and has a Corel export bug. A number of the buttions in the camera options still show machine code for labels.
Just in case you don't know, if you go at or above the .17 firmware for the 6445G, you have to have .44 or above RDWorks to set the air assist.

I am running V8.01.48-20200417 and I am unable to reach the tab that allows me to uncheck the X mirror. What am I doing wrong.
Thank you

That screen is from the .19 version of RDWorks.
I'm not positive, but I think what you're after is in Vendor Settings. I would say Dir polarity, but I'm not sure. Other possibility would be invert direction in the bottom Keying box.
I'll try and attach a copy of my .48 Vendor Backup. See if it helps. NOTE: bed size is 500 x 700. If you load it be prepared to hit ESC if you bed is a different size. You could load it on a different copy / PC and compare them without actually loading them also.
