Set the Workpiece Origin

The zero point of each axis in the toolpath is the workpiece origin. Before machining, you need to define the actual position of the workpiece origin on the sheet.

To set the workpiece origin, do one of the following:

• In the drawing window, drag the cross, which is at the intersection of the horizontal scale and vertical scale, to the target position:

  

• Specify the position of the cutting head as the workpiece origin in the machine control bar:

  1. to move the cutting head to the target position, click / / / .

  2. To set the current position as the workpiece origin, click or press F5 on the keyboard.

• To specify the coordinate of X-axis / Y-axis as the workpiece origin, in the menu bar, click Machining → Set Work Origin → X-axis / Y-axis. The workpiece coordinate of the current workpiece coordinate system turns to zero.

• Set the workpiece origin by mouse:

  1. In the drawing toolbar, click Set Origin Manually. The cursor turns into .

  2. Left click to specify the workpiece origin.

  3. To exit specifying the workpiece origin, right click.
