Hello,

I made another topic trying to describe the same issue but i think it was not so clear, so i am making another topic and i will try to explain my problem in a simpler way.

I am making a drawing, preparing CAM settings in fusion and sending it to UCCNC. Than i see that this drawing i made just sits in a random place in UCCNC space and working area of STEPCRAFT , mostly on lower half of cutting area.

What should i do, for example, to start cutting my model in upper half or in the middle of stepcraft cutting zone ?

How can i adjust (or align) my drawing from fusion 360 to where i want on cutting area of stepcraft 600?

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Serkan Salah

You need to set the zerpo-point on UCCNC!
You need to move to the x/y-position where you want to have x-0 and y-0 (which is usually the starting point on Fusion).
You also need to set Z-Zero on the zop of the peace you want to work on.

After setting X&Y-Zero you will see the model moving to the new position when you redraw the view.

Thank you for your reply frankjoke...

Really interesting, this method you described, is the method that the seller of this machine also described me when i was buying it a week ago, didn't work at all until today 🙂 And believe me i tried lots of times... Today, after i read your reply and give it another try, it worked ...:lol:
So maybe my stepcraft machine was waiting for your comment on this issue 😛

Ok thanks again,
I hope it keeps working...
Best Regards,
Serkan S.
