Moving the origin of a round board to the lower Left

[m_walczak]

Hi, I have searched the forum for an answer to this issue and while finding a number of solutions none have worked for me, The problem is the PCB origin is not at the lower left. See attached file and when I generate a centroid file I get negative values and the Pick and place machine has issues with that. All values need to be positive relative a lower left origin.

Draw the construction square with radius sides.

Snap the object to the corner point with Joint.

Might help…..

Thanks for the reply.Unfortunately I can' find the Joint command.  I searched online and it seems to be something in the 3d Space. Just giving you s heads up I will ask how to draw the constrution Box.  I don't want ot take up too much of your times and really apprciate it. When I become a drag on you time just tell me and I will move on.

Please attach your model so the Forum users can "attempt" to help you out.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

It is a pc board  layout so it is 2d.  I could attach the model that is generated but that won't help because any changes like the origin need to be in the 2d space.

The decision is up to you.  You have posted the question and without the model it is hard to show what you need to do.  Fusion uses 2D sketches all the time so they can be manipulated also.  If you are working in 2D, Joints are not going to help, Sketch Constrains maybe.  Again, have to see the model

Doesn't matter how you get there, 

A square will pit the centre of the circle into the right place.

Normally when importing a model, the system asks you where to put it.

Snap the circle centre point to the square's corner point.

Might help....

I posted the 2d, which is the only place that controls the location  and where I generate the centroid file on the 3d model that is generated by FUsion, not me.   I will post anyway, because people are help and if tis helps great

[jhackney1972]

I am not a Fusion Electronics User so I do not think my answer will suit you.  I converted the model into a solid model and position it on the Origin.  This left behind a lot of information.  Model is attached anyway.

Well what weirdness is this?  

As you don't have a circle, the advice would be draw the rectangle from centre point, and make the outside legs, tangent to the respective curves.

Then it would be select all, Move Point to Point, using the corner point of the rectangle and the origin, but 

I have never been in the 3d PCB before, it's Move command will not select anything, 

and I can't get back to modelling environment. (my Newby status)

All bets off.

What workflow did you use to create the board outline?

I would go back through the workflow you used to create the board in Fusion Electronics and move the board outline either in the initial sketch you used, or in the board editor.

I would NOT move anything in the resulting 3D PCB!

Thanks for trying,

Electronics and Fusion is shotgun Marriage Yes it does work for most things, but the appraoch is still very Kludgy
