Topic: not printing in center of build plate

I have a creality Ender-3 3D printer, Vista Operating system, Cura 15.04 slicing program.
issue: when I load a model to print it does not move to the center of the build plate but starts in the auto home position, lower left corner. Went to Machine/machine position 0,0,0 and unchecked it but it still doesn't print in center, is there some place else to change it?
THANKS FOR THE HELP

Re: not printing in center of build plate

Printing does not normally start in the center. It should move from the home position and then begin the print one corner or perimeter of the print then move inward.

Are you saying yours starts at the home and tries to use home as the center and simply grinds for moves that would move past home?

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
