How to get a consistent evaluation from chess engine in Arena?

I am using Arena paired with Stockfish 6, and as of now, when the engine is evaluating a position here is what happens: say, for example, it’s black to move, and the engine thinks black is up by 3 pawns, then it displays the value as + 3.0. Then when I go to the next move (so it's white to play) and black is still up by 3 pawns, the valuation changes to  - 3.0. In other words, the evaluation changes from a positive to negative value depending only on whose move it is. 

I want it to be a negative value when black is better and a positive value when white is better—no matter whose move it is.

Anyone have a fix??? Thanks!

Sure.

Tick on the menu setting "Options --> Appearance --> Other settings --> Chess --> Values always from white's point of view", and you're golden.
