    I've always used bottom right corner for my datum point. I tried the zooen builds xyz probe and by default its the bottom left. Is there a way to change it permantly?
    I don't really want to measure each piece of work and set an offset each time just a simple pick a datum position and thats it.

    Thanks yes I tried that, but then it asks for stock measurements of the material so it can put an offset? Do you have to do that everytime?

    Yes

    Or just start to CAM in the far more standard and convenient way of bottom left corner origin :)
