Set Machine Origin Zeros Per Axis

How do I set axis machine zero points? I have Machine Origin (0 0 0) set to center of my rotary .stl model, and built the machine off of that. But how do I set all axis machine zero points to that position? These .stl files did not import in correct positions, so I had to move them around.

Also have a issue with A-axis model. When I move A-axis it spins my .stl model around its center(0 0 0).

I havent had any machine build classes, so I'm just going off the training in help section.

Re: Set Machine Origin Zeros Per Axis

Okay I got it    I figured out how to position my .stl models at 0 0 0 .

Still cant figure out why my A-axis .stl model rotates around the 0 0 0 origin? I dont have to have a fixture of a chuck do I ?

Re: Set Machine Origin Zeros Per Axis

Okay thanks to my local CGTech Technical Support guy Joel, this is fixed. I was attaching my .stl model to A-axis, instead of attaching A-axis to my model...duh  :oops:

Live and learn. Now gotta figure out why my tool is not attaching to end of my spindle model???
