Can you post the .dxf?
Imo it's far easier to move the square in AutoCAD than move the UCS. I've used AutoCAD daily for over 10 years and never move the UCS.
What I'd recommend, is to set up a template with two lines, one along the X axis and one along the Y, both through 0,0 and draw your parts at 0,0. Just delete the two lines before you export.
Even if your parts origin is 0,0, it's unlikely that all your parts will start cutting right at 0,0. I don't use LazyCAM, but you'll need to tell it where you want it to start.
