Setting X-Y Zero offset from stock

Anonymous

Hi, I'm a new user of Fusion 360.  I'm trying to figure out how to set an X-Y zero offset from my stock.  Currently I use VisualMill for my CAM needs.  It allows me to select a point on the box stock just like Fusion 360 but I can also input a coordinate to offset the stock from zero.  Is there a way to do this in Fusion 360?

One way you could do this is to have a sketch with a point with the offset you want.

Then snap to that in your setup.
