    Re: RD works V8- trying to understand the origin function

    I tell you what I understand : there is a option to "set" 4 location in your laser cutter.
    I use to work without absolute coordinates, i put the laser head where i want and start from this point, if i need to repeat the work, i put some guides to the material and cut, change the material, repeat, etc etc etc
    If in the middle of this i need to do other work, and need to start from other point, i loose the start of work 1.
    With this option you can set a originN in the location of work 1, do another work, other start point, and when you finish, you can go back to originN, put material, and finish them
    Is just my interpretation...

    Hi Martin- I assumed (hoped) that the origins would work like that, but I don't understand how you set the four origin points and how you can go back to them. Thanks Gene
