Hello, I am a new ShopBotter, hopefully I will soon be able to provide some answers, but for now I have a few questions, and would appreciate any help.
I am using DesignCad 2D, and am able to convert to ShopBot without major problems, however, even if the original drawing is located at or near the origin, the ShopBot code seems to pick random locations for the cutting to begin. I can work around this by moving the cutter to my desired starting point and resetting the working cordinates to the file's beginning coordinates, but that's awkward.
Is there something simple I am missing?

David,

Read the postings under "conversion sequence criteria" and you should find the answer.
