I, j, k Vectors

I have a profile that I made out of point into a scan set. The scan set is in the Z- ( below plane A that I set my z axis to) how can I get 2 positive vectors with the rest being negative? Made sure I was pointing my gun as straight up as I could? I am at a loss and have an engineer looking at me sideways.
