Tool path Starts at Origin (bottom left corner of material)

Hey Shawn,

you must have the workpiece origin in your 3D model exactly where you have it in reality, which means where you probe XYZ in reality. If you use the XYZ probe routine of the Onefinity CNC Controller, this forcibly requires to have your workpiece origin on the front left top corner of your workpiece 3D model.

The simulation in Fusion360 shows the toolpath starting toward the middle of the file. I’m not sure why it sets the beginning of the toolpath in the middle. Fusion360 seems to randomly choose a point. I haven’t figured out how to change the toolpath starting point, or if I can.

Either you figure this out (in the Fusion360 documentation), and move the workpiece origin to the front left top corner in your 3D model, or you simply don’t use the Onefinity Touchprobe and the XYZ probe routine, but you manually drive the carriages so that your bit is exactly at the workpiece origin in reality, and then press the “zero” icon on the User Interface (moving the carriages manually can be done by using the corded gamepad or the wireless gamepad, the arrow keys on the Jog Tab of the display, or by entering the corresponding G-code commands into the MDI field of the Tabbed Section of the CONTROL Page).

Welcome to the forum!

PS: I don’t use Fusion360, but many users here do, I think someone will tell you where you set your point of workpiece origin!
