David,

If you have a Job Control version 9.4.4.2 that option will be in there.

My guess is he's got a brand new Speedy 300 with Job Control X. I can't locate it in JCX either. Might be there, I just can't find it.

Not sure if you can change the actual position, but you an get it to go back to the start point....see attached.

I do have jcx. I will keep looking but might have to resort to doing extra work. Maybe I can charge by the hour.

No need to keep looking, Jit posted the solution above. Well, partially. If you want to set the home, so to speak, there are a couple of ways, but I'd just move the laser where you want zero to be, the add a marker to the plate (using Marker to laser), then you'll have a marker in that center spot. Then use what Jit posted and tell it not to go home at the end of the job.

If you have the new iPhone app for the Trotec, you can set the home by moving the machine into position and then holding the home button down. It's a standard button on the S400, but I don't know if they made it on the S300 yet. Mine is older so I have to use the iphone app if I want to do that.
