Test LinuxCNC without motors and encoders connected

My Busellato is similar.

I've re-configured my machine axes so that Y-axis runs from the back stops (home) and negative towards the front (originally, that was positive direction like yours). Also did the same for the Z-axis for best CAM-compatibility, but it sounds like the Biesse is opposite?

I don't use Fusion360 (yet) so can't help set your WCS, but in the package I use, the WCS is in the top-left corner and I model in the X+/Y- quadrant.

That looks wrong to me. Facing my biesse, left to right X asix back to front Y axis. My machine homes back left.

I just tried fusion360 and I can get it correctly. You should be able to also. I dont like how fusion360 does their WCS as it is a bit tough to get it right.

Wait...... if your Y is pointing to the back of the machine then I think that is correct.

In fusion, my Y is pointing backwards yes, but is this correct? Shouldn’t it point forwards? This is the + directiion of the biesse.

Thats correct.

A standard coordinate system is
X + to the right
Y + away from you
Z + up.

(or, other directions, depending on where you stand)

The WCS in Fusion is this way round, and that is what all G-code assumes.

This is all tool-movement-relative-to-work.

If the work moves (like on a knee mill, or some gantries, then this can be confusing, but if you look at the tool relative to the work it will always be the same.

And what does this mean in my situation?
This is indeed the WCS in Fusion.
If I use this WCS, and I position the workpiece against the stop on the Biesse (left-rear), what will happen?
I don't have the machine running yet. I'm only make some simulations on LinuxCNC. and when I load the G-code that has been created in Fusion into in LinuxCNC, the workpiece is positioned outside the work area.
