> When you load a program in ground control, that program’s “Zero” point is set to the machine’s “Home” position. You can easily move a program around by moving the cursor to where you want to cut and set the home position. May also want to check that the origin is set correct in your program. I have many a time loaded a program that was waaaaay off from the origin and the part ended up in the wrong position.

No, you’re still good. The position of the piece is determined when you go through the step of creating the gcode. If you used MakerCam, when it starts up you can’t see the 0,0 point on the screen, and the SVG gets loaded off to the right of 0,0. Look on the screen for the zoom ‘-’ button

and give that a click to see where the axes cross. That crossing point will be at the center of your workarea. You can select your lines and drag them around, I like to try to center them over the crossing point. Then gon on with the CAM profile creation, etc.
