I have just built a 48x48 Router CNC. Cutting surface comes in at 30x38. Licensed copy of Mach3 arrives today or tomorrow. I have Fusion 360, but Inkscape is worlds easier to get a grip on, i.e., the drawing part of Inkscape seems pretty straight forward. I have used Corel quite a bit, and a lot is quite similar.
My biggest issue so far is setting the origin. I am trying to get ALL of my drawing origins to start at my lower left. I am missing the point as to how to make this happen. I am also using JSCut to do the Gcode conversion.
Can someone point me in the right directon to make Lower Left my 0,0 in Inkscape ? Or maybe there is a way in JSCut ?
