I have my zero set to center on my file and when i hit start it goes way off course to start the first tool path
Please upload your .c2d file, let us know step-by-step how you are securing your stock and setting zero relative to it, and a photo showing an attempt at cutting still in place on the machine with the machine at the zero position (or a specified offset from there).
It may help to review:

After setting z and x,y zero you can go to jog and use the rapid positions to check X Y and Z +6mm to verify your origin. When the tool paths start they dont necessarily start in the center.
One caution about Z +6mm is if you use bottom of material for the Z origin be sure to jog off the material before issuing the Z +6mm or your bit will crash into your material. If using top of material no problem but keep your finger on the stop button just in case.
