reset where laser cuts from

Hi guys, just wondering, I used to set a job to cut, position the laser head manually then begin cutting from that exact point. It wont do that anymore as it seems to want to move approx. 8cm down and across before performing the cut. How do I reset this cheers??

Re: Laser script cut/hole/engrave/hole engrav

DAVEN, SO, are you saying that you can control the laser with corel??? and not just laserscript sofware as I thought it was only possible with laserscript. Would be cool if there was a plugin within illustrator to control it?? Spooky, ill have a go at what your saying and let you know.. cheers guys.
