CNC New Acorn Build - Issues transfering CAD to Intercon

I have just completed a new build, but I am having issues transferring CAD to Intercon without a long, rapid line. As you can see in the photos the default start line is 67 inches in the Y axis. Why is this occurring?

the long rapid line is most likely the distance the tool has to move from the current part zero location to the beginning cut of the part.
since this is a plasma system, i'm moving this post into the plasma forum.

At the Top Select. Edit - move origin. You can then select where the part will sit in relation to the work coordinate 0.
When your moving the origin you can Double click in the Graph where you want XY0 to be in relation to the part.
In your picture I can see the part is sitting around X-20 Y 70. The DXF must of been created like that.
Thanks for the report and pictures

Good looking cabinet.

Thank y'all for looking at this with me and the help is appreciated. As requested, here is a basic cad file that was recently used.

We were able to get rid of the line we previously had issue with, but now we have a new issue. When I start a job, this new issue arises as seen in the attached photos. Any help is appreciated.
What I have noticed in regard to the long rapid lines, I posted the CNC hook test that came with the CNC controller, and when I opened it, it had a long rapid as well. The hook test was already programed within the CNC system.

those InterCon Block numbers with 5.06 restart mode is what your running into.
Download the Latest 5.07 Build here :
https://centroid-support.filemail.com/d/mivowpdirikiybu
The 5.08 release will be available within the next week or so. You can run 5.07 until the 5.08 build is released. by selecting ctrl-p in the wizard you can print to pdf and save a pdf of the wizards settings for a reference when switching builds.
Sorry about that hick up.

Can we have a TeamViewer session at the Control?
This would help me fully understand what's happing also.

Looks Like The Breakaway was tripping at the end of the Touch off cycle. This caused the Job to end before the torch could fire after a touch off cycle.
After un assigning the breakaway in the wizard menu. Everything functioned as expected. Gilley is changing his float switches to wire them in Series.
Calibration and THC Plots Look Good
