Match Fusion and Shapeoko zero

Software Fusion 360
1

I have a problem that I have solved in a very klugy way. The basic issue is my Shapeoko with BitZero wants to set zero to the “Southwest” top corner of the stock. Actually, I suppose it can set zero to any top corner. But the operation word is top. When designing in Fusion for 2D parts the most natural way for me is to design on the top face with Z up. This puts Fusions zero at the Southwest bottom corner of the stock. I get around this by setting the fusion stock bottom depth to minus stock thickness and stock top to zero. This works but it just feels wrong and there must be an elegant solution to this. Please help.

In F360, in the setup, move the WCS origin to a point on TOP of your stock.
