Hello.  I am brand new to cnc and mach3.  I am trying to cut out my first project that I made in Fusion360.  Unfortunately my machine keeps showing the piece in the display mode in the wrong place.  A bit of background- when I turn my machine on I hit "ref all home" which brings my z all the way up, and my table all the way to the front of the machine (moving in the neg to get there), and the table all the way to the left (moving in the neg to get there).  I have home switches set up to do this. After that, I set my work zero's and than load the g-code.  In the attached picture of the display- my spindle is actually sitting directly over the the middle of my work piece- which is not what the display is showing.  After several hours of messing with it, I did hit run even though it said I was out of the soft limits on the y.  That was a mistake- the table took off moving to the right and away from me (y in the +).  Just being too impatient.  Luckily I was able to stop it before it crashed.
I did make a Turners cube just using the "circular pocket" wizard and had no problems.  After I set my work zeroes, and put the spindle over the center it showed exactly that on the display and cut the g-code flawlessly.
 I have been trying to figure this out for the last couple of days and have read so many different posts and watched so many videos that I am more confused than when I started.  I also attached the beginning of the g-code that is showing on mach3 when I load it.  Not sure it matters but i am trying to cut 1.5 by 3" blade out of a 3 x 5" stock piece.  I attached some pics of that as well.  Any all help would be immensely helpful- thank you.
