    How to set the starting point in Fusion 360?

    I'm coming from Aspire, where when you set up the material it would ask, where do you want your start point, in the corner, or in the center. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to tell Fusion 360 to cut my part from the center. I've got a symmetrical 3D model made in Rhino and exported as an stl file imported in to Fusion 360, and I've gotten so far to get a roughing pass and a finishing pass that I think will work, but then I notice it's starting in the corner, which I suppose I could work with, I just never have, I always cut from the center, so I've spent probably an hour googling to figure this out and I'll be danged if there's a simple solution that I can find. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    You select that in the Setup tab in Manufacture. You should see 27 points that can be selected for your XY Origin. If you don't see them then choose the Stock tab and go back to the Setup tab.

    In the pattern option you can select between "inside out" or "outside in."
