I am using kiri:moto with onshape and I want to set my machine origin on a point that I marked in my sketch. This way, I can precisely zero my CNC at a known location. I don’t see an option to do that. If that’s not possible, what is the recommended way to define a coordinate system in kiri:moto?
By default the zero point is based on the parts in the scene plus an offset.
You can change it so that you instead specify the size of the material regardless of the parts.
The part studio I loaded in kiri:moto has the part positioned such that (0,0,0) is where I want the origin relative to the part. Once loaded into kiri:moto, the origin is placed in the middle of the part.
You can adjust the origin point and offset it in the Origin section in the sidebar
I know but then I’d have to manually measure and copy the value over. It’s also not parametric, so I’d have to do that every time the part changes. This is a bit odd to me as it’s a basic feature that I would expect to be there. Sure I am not missing something?
you’re not missing anything. you can set origin to stock XY center or XY left/bottom and Z to top or bottom. then you can set an offset from that point in the left menu. that offset is persistent across part loads. it’s relative to stock, not the part. you can set the stock to offset mode and set the offsets to 0,0,0 which means the stock becomes a bounding box for the part. then the offset is relative to the part, which might be what you want.
