Does anyone know how to alter the Datum? I have a part that I would like to run and have the Datum location right in the Top Center of the billet. How do I reset the Datum to this new location?

The easiest way is to design around the bottom left corner of the page, which is the fixed 0,0 Datum postition.
Although the toolpath will go outside the 'page', it dosn't matter, they will still be created in the CAM wizard.

- Datum position is always here, so place your design around it.
