Noob, CNC, Wood-size problem... Apologies in advance

Hello community,

Many thanks for having me here.

I have 0 experience with woodworking, or CNC routers, so please excuse me if any of this comes out as nonsense.

---

### THE SITUATION

- I've designed and produced an STL.

- I'm using *MeshCad* free trial to prepare for the machine—a dirt cheap thing from Amazon: `McwDoit Wood 3018 CNC router`.

- I'm using blocks of balsa as it was advised this is good for beginners and ~~shit~~ machines.

- The blocks are larger than the object to be CNC'd.

### MY STUPID 'PROBLEM'

- I can't work out how to configure *MeshCad* to drill the object starting from one corner of the large piece of balsa.

- I've defined the 'stock' to the measurements of the whole piece, and I can see the object to be drilled in the centre, not in the corner...

---

And that's it!

I'd be really grateful if anyone had any pointers.

Many thanks in advance!

Edit: I tried a reddit post 'formatting' site and this is what came out... sorry about that too! :'D
