Setting Origins after using CNC

Recently got a used Shapeoko XXL with a 7w Jtech laser. I set lightburn up using Ben Myers setup video and everything seemed to work fine. After a few projects I used the CNC and when I tried to go back it wouldn’t let me return to my set origin, it would try to return to the machine origin.

 

For context the project I am working on is leather hat patches for hats. I would engrave a square the same dimension as the patch and set my origin as the bottom left of the square and set finish position to +6in Y from the set origin so I could replace the patch with a fresh one and then click return to origin to start the process. Now when I click go to origin it will move the machine origin and I have to move it back to where I want my origin to be. Is there a parameter or setting that I’m missing when I do my $$ setup or a machine setting?

      If you are using “User Origin” as your Start From position, and have already used “Set Origin”, to define that origin, then the job will run as expected, but will return to machine origin at the end of the job.
If you jog to where you want to the finish position to be and in the Move window click “Set Finish Position”, the laser will instead move to that position at the end…when you want to run the job again you can just click Start.
However, the “Go to Origin” button is available if you want to jog back to the user origin you created:
