Tiling Still Trying to Cut Full Sheet Size

[LazzellWoodworking (Austin Lazzell)]

I’m finally trying my hand at tiling and doing it with a sheet of pvc. It’s just too wide so I’m doing 2 tiles.
I’m doing 2 20" tiles and have it all set up in the CC. When I take it to motion it loads my top half file, but instead of working from the center of the top half (my origin point) it instead wants to do the center of the full file (the full 40"). Not just this, but it wants to put the top half file on the lower 20" of sheet. When testing the bottom half file it does the same thing and places it on the bottom.

Is there a setting or a default program setting that I’m not aware of like it must be on the left bottom corner for the origin? Or that there’s a specific way to run the files? I tried changing the file to just be 20x24 to help motion recognize it better, but that wanted to just do one tile and omit the rest of the design. (I suppose worst case just do that and move the design in the program and save teh 2nd tile that way, but I want to do this the correct way and want a bit of guidance if possible.)

I don’t see anything about running the programs in the tiling video on the C3D youtube page other that to just run it. What am I missing?

I’ve attached both cut files and a screenshot of the preview on Motion next to what it should look like from Create.

(I do have straight edges on the side and a marked top corner location for the tile reposition for future reference.)

When you run the top the zero point is 20" up from the bottom zero.
“Center” means the center of the whole job, so for the bottom path the zero is at the center of your workpiece. For the top path the zero is at the top edge.

The idea being you can set the zero once, and then move the workpiece exactly the same distance as the “tile height” setting in CC. It doesn’t matter where you choose to set the zero in CC (bottom left, center, etc…) as long as you move the part 20", the zero should be in the same place on each tile.
