Laser Returns to machine zero before cutting

All of a sudden this started happening.
My machine zero is lower left.
I drag the laser head there before startup as I don’t have homing switches hooked up yet.
I position my workpiece on the grid, select laser position to “lower Left” and laser goes there. When I hit “start”, the laser travels back to home zero and tries to cut the part that’s not there. The green part origin stays with the part.
This just started happening. I can’t figure out why.
I have rebooted, unplugged, reset and it still does it.
Sometimes, depending where my part is on the grid, it tells me my part is out of bounds.
Before today, everything was working fine.
Does anyone have any idea what I might have did or what might have happened? I appreciate any help and expertise.

      Have you always used User Origin as the “Start From” mode in Laser window?
Is it possible you have User Origin set to an unexpected location?
Try switching to Absolute Coords, do you get the same issue? If not, then it’s likely because your user origin is set somewhere you don’t expect. You can clear or set a new user origin in Move window.
