This part has been programmed in SOLIDWORKS CAM and there are two setups. One for the holes on the top and one for the round pocket on the side. The origin may be different for each setup. We can control that. Setting the origin can be a challenge when it's away from the part. The coordinate system has been defined in the corner of the part. If it needs to be away from the part, all we need is a sketch and reset the origin.
