Hello everyone. I am not a cnc wizard by any stretch of the imagination. I have a cnc router that I like to mess around with, and am having a little bit of trouble. I use Mastercam to produce my g-codes, but I do all of my CAD work in Solidworks. I have recently learned that it is fairly easys to take a jpeg file, and convert it into a dxf file using adobe illustrator. The problem that I am having is that when I bring it into Mastercam to make the g-code I can't figure out how to get the origin to "attach" to one of the points of the dxf. When using solidworks, I just draw my part off of the origin and then it transports just fine, but with the illustrator drawings that have been converted to dxf, I haven't figured out how to do that. I'm am sure there is a simple solution to this problem, it has just escaped me to this point. Can someone please tell me how to attache the orign to a point in my dxf drawings?
Thanks for the help
