Cone a craftsman who is learning to use Fusion 360 and uses app BOM to make the cutting list but often the direction of the vein is wrong how can I move the king or rotate the direction of the origin without moving the model or the component?

If you're looking to change the origin in the CAM workspace, you can control this in the Setup where you set your work coordinate system. To edit a setup, right click the setup in the bowser list on the left side of Fusion 360.

In contrast, the origin in the modeling workspace is fixed, although there's an option in Preferences (found by clicking on your name in the upper right corner of Fusion) to switch the Z and Y axes. If you want to change where the origin is in relation to your model in this workspace, you'll need to move the model itself.
