Origin point: is the origin of the tool before machining is carried out.

There are 2 ways to set origin point:

1)Custom: You can custom the position of the origin, input the value of X and Y, then save path .

If you design based on page(page sige is the same as material), the origin in ucannest and the users origin in material are all at the lower-left corner, custom X = 0, Y = 0, the results are shown in Fig.
