Mach2 will cut exactly where the g-code tells it too. Are you saying you want to change the g-code? When you first turn on the machine, you should home it, or jog it to where you want and zero the axis. After that, it will follow the g-code.

I was wondering, is there a way to set the origin sphere on an imported DXF file in Mach2? For example, if the origin sphere is at the bottom of the image I want to cut, but I need it to be at the top...I can't find any way to move it. I mean the start position on the image where cutting will begin. NOT the work offset, but the little yellow dot on the part which shows where the cut will start.. I need to move that around somehow...
I've been looking thru the manual but haven't found anything about this yet.
Thank you!

Well, I can edit the g-code, but what I mean is when you import a file and convert it to g-code, it has a starting point...I want to change the starting point. I guess maybe I'll have to do that using the gcode. I was hoping to be able to do it visually somehow

The starting point is probably based on the order the objects were drawn in the .dxf. You won't be able to change that without hand editing the code. Or, use a CAM program like SheetCAM.
