Hi Guys
I'm new to all this cnc stuff.
My problem is when importing a dxf file its scrolled way off the litle cross on the lower left, and when I generate the gcode it shows up a long way off in mach3.
I can center it very easily using cut2d, but so far have been unable to figure out how to do it in cambam.
I've read the help files, looked here and at the cambam forums with no sucess.
All help apreciated.

Best for this task is the "align" function in edit menu, play with it a little to find out how it is used and you will see it is really powerful.

Another option is to leave the drawing objects where they are.
Then right click the Machining or Part object in the drawing tree and choose
'Set machining origin'.

You can then click on your drawin, where you would like your machine's X,Y (0,0) to be.
A red X will be displayed on the drawing... you can click and drag this X to change it.

This method is particularly useful if you have multiple parts in one DXF drawing.

I hope this helps!
