Drawing orgin to convert DXF to gcode for CNC

[Anonymous]

I convert DXF files to Gcode but resulting Origin is in wrong place. The drawing should start at 0,0 (see insert)

@Anonymous ,

The origin point of any a dwg (or a dxf) file is 0,0,0 unless some one moved it (it doesn't move by its own)

to correct it, open the dwg (or dxf) in AutoCAD, set UCS to World and set BASE point to 0,0,0 than DXFOUT the file.

but i recommend to check with the author if you can to do that?!

My try:

The base point of DWG or DXF is stored in INSBASE variable,

but i can't think your program can handle this, so the real saved data is in WCS coordinates.

You should have an option to correct your issue in your program, 

but if not:

You have to edit the dxf first.

Open DXF with an DXF Editor like AutoCAD,

Use Command MOVE<ENTER>

ALL <enter><enter>

Pick your line ENDpoint

Target point is: *0,0,0

save the file.

Try it again.
