How to set the origin at the corner of the stock?

[8sigma]

It's been about 10 years since I've used MasterCam.
I'm trying to create a machine origin at the corner of the stock and it's kicking my A$$!
Last software I used was CamWorks, no problem, pick the corner.
I'm wanting to use the lower left corner for XYZ zero. This must be a common practice but it's like a secret everywhere I look:

Go to planes, then selwct new plane, in bottomt left corner.

And you can move origin, place near you want and select z to move down .

Thanks for the reply. I ended up drawing a rectangle the size of the stock, at the bottom of the stock, creating a plane for that op, and locating the WCS on the corner, pretty much like you suggested.

in the stock tab....
centre top is set as default where the co-ord XYZ points to...

try L-clicking on a corner of the diagram (to move the stock origin )

PS.... this is how to place the stock, not how to move the WCS.
