Hi all, I apologize for an easy questions, but I am very new to mastercam,  I am doing some exercises and need to select the center of the bottom of the stock to be xo, y0, z0.  I can move the little black arrow to almost any corner but not sure how to select the bottom.  Stock size is 4.5" x 6" x .5"

 

Thank you all in advance

Hi Mookie,  great idea I tried it but diagonal lines will not snap to the wire frame of the stock. Maybe because I am using HLE. What I just did is to the left of the stock view in stock setup are 3 yellow fields for x, y and z (stock origin in view coordinates)  I selected top of the stock with an arrow and changed Z to +.5" since stock is .5" thick,  looks OK. to me now.  Not sure if that is correct ?  Thank you for trying to help!
