In PHCad
Control Settings, there is a setting called
Cut Mode. I did not know what it did, until today.
The default Cut Mode,
PanelLocation, causes the job to be output where the Origin is set by the control panel origin button at the laser. Switching this to
SoftLocation will automatically move the origin to a position that causes the job to be output at the position it holds in the PHCad software workspace.
I have updated the Wiki for PHCad usage with this information. There is also a longer version at
my blog.
