drawing at origin

    Usually I design in the middle of the screen? and sometimes I need a
    DXF file of a particular feature
    for CNC programming. When I process this DXF file in my CNC program I
    get a leader from the origin
    that is loooong. Even when I move the feature in the original drawing
    to the origin 0,0,0 the DXF to CNC still gives me the long leader.
    Any ideas please.
    Brian.

    I personally don't use DIM's (have no need for them and I'm not all that
    familiar with them)... but could there be some kind of DIM Variable
    (SetVar) that needs to be adjusted?

    Can you save the DXF to an older AutoCAD version (like version 12) and
    see if that solves it?

    For what it's worth...

    If the Copy/Paste doesn't help try a WBLOCK of the portion or drawing.

    Look at your INSBASE variable - it needs to also be at 0,0,0
