Is it possible to setup Laserweb 4 so that it homes on the centre position rather than one of the corners?
Many thanks

The first and more relevant question is what machine do you have and where are the switches located? That is your homing position.
And the origin in LaserWeb is 0,0 which is the front left.
Maschine home must be in one of the corners, that’s a firmware requirement.
What you probably mean is having the work origin in the center. You can set the work origin anywhere by moving to that location and clicking “set zero”.
@raykholo I have a Laseraxe 7w 65 x 50cm machine. The problem I have is that I need to put certain images in the centre of a round wooden disc. I wanted to have the centre of the image perfectly over the centre of the wood when I start and thought that if I could set home there, the engraving would be centred on that point. I do appreciate you getting back to me Ray/Claudio
@Max_Shadow To reach that, just move the head to the center of your workpiece and press “set zero”. Then load your file, select it in the documents list and center it by clicking the center button in the floating position popup.
If your workpiece is always located at the same position (related to the machine origin), you can add G0 moves to the homing gcode in settings.
