Recent question from a customer using LaserCAM 2D with a versalaser laser cutter:
Can you set different origins in terms of where the laser starts without moving the object/drawing in the original laserCam software. Currently I can only get it starting from the lower left corner

If you notice when you go to the print preview in LaserCAM, there are two boxes called offset (mm) X and Y.

Setting these values will offset the print output, but not alter the original drawing
