toolpath creation problem or wrong interpretor setup?

I am using the Surfcam 2d free version. When I import the dxf and
lay out the toolpaths for the contours and pockets, they all
simulate fine within Surfcam. But when I go to cut the part with
Master5 or Turbocnc, it tries to start motion from the bottom and
center of the stock which is not possible considering a piece of
metal is there!
When I zero the machine at the center and top of the stock and start
the first set of pocketed arcs, they cut the way they should. But
when it rapids to the second set at safe Z on the opposite side of
the part, the machine starts to plunge into the stock diagnally
about 1/2" from the actual plunging position, which caught me off
guard and snapped a very expensive little end mill off at the shank
;(

The part origin is set at X0 Y0 Z0. And the manual for Surfcam says
that you can set the part origin wherever you want to but it doesnt
say how.

Maybe Im missing something. But shouldnt I be able to make the first
move thats in the code,where it starts from the origin 0,0,0 ,and
move the machine to X0 Y0 and safe Z(1)before starting the spindle
in motion and be able to continue the cut from that position without
problems? How do I do this correctly, because Im obviously doing
something wrong.

I am hoping someone can help me figure this out, as Ive spent alot
of time and a pretty sizable chunk of change converting my machine
and buying the software to do this work.And Im really anxious to put
all of my hard work to good use.

Thanks.
