    Hi guys
    I'm having trouble with my x and y axis placement. When I do a design in fusion I always design slightly higher on the x and y axis. Once transferrd to open builds it always tries to run the job below the x and y axis. Even if I zero the axis half way up the table, it always cuts below. Can I move the design once in open builds????
    Thanks

    OpenBuilds is an organisation :)

    In CONTROL no, its just a gcode sender. Your origin is set in your CAM workflow. Where the gcode tells us it is, is where we just show it to you

    Your design location does not matter. What matters is where you set your XY origin on your work piece in the CAM portion of Fusion360. Is there a chance you set your origin to the middle, or somewhere else in your CAM? That could cause it to cut in an unexpected place.
