The most common mistake people make, is having the wrong work plane. Be sure the axes are pointing in the correct direction. Please see the parameter Tool Tips for detailed information.
The Work Coordinate System (WCS): It's important that we tell Fusion which face we want to machine. You can set the Orientation to any plane by picking a face and an edge. The XY axis should lay flat on the machining plane. The Z+ axis should point away from the machining plane. For our example, we can leave it set to Model Orientation.
Set The Origin: For the Origin (Zero Point) you can pick from the Stock box or the Model box. Select a point from the Stock Box Point. It should look similar to the picture shown below (Upper left corner of the block in the XY plane).
