Toolpath starting point (0.92)

[GRT88]

Hello everybody,

I just started using Inkscape (0.92)for my  Grbl 1.1 based CNC cutter and I love the fact that it's versatile and easy I use the Ready Motion Control plugin for generating gcode. So I mainly plan to use it for cutting simple shapes: circels, rectangles etc.

The problem i'm running into is that Inkscape defines [0,0] at the bottom left, while for my CNC cutter ('home') it's at the top right. This means that, while generating gcode works great, the starting point is inverted. Changing the home position of my machine is tough, because it has no limit switches at that point.

I've tried moving the arrows that appear, but that doesn't seem to work. I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this, I just can't find it and I'm not sure what it's called  .

Can someone help me out?

The origin cannot be changed in Inkscape (yet, it's on the list).

I suggest you make your drawing normally, and before sending it out via extension (why doesn't it take that into account? I thought it has been made for use with Inkscape?), you move/mirror/whatever your drawing to the place that your software seems to expect.

Use the align dialog or snapping to more easily align with page border, for example.
