Hello, I've got a beginner question using Mcam X2. When I bring in a DXF the bottom left of my drawing is several inches from X0,Y0. When I go through stock setup i can get either the stock box at X0,Y0 with the part only partially inside the stock box or a bounding box that surrounds my part several inches away from 0,0. I would like to be able to have my stock and part lower left at 0,0. Any help would be greatly appreciated,Shepard  |

| your stock will not set were the datum is coming from. if you want the lower left hand corner to be your true dautom you need to Xform Translate the geo. Or use the WCS and you the option for new Datum and pick the postion.
