RedBox placement
My Permaboss laser machine will give a outline of the my exact design measurements, I was wondering if anyone knew how to expand the red box but keep my design the same size.. What I'm trying to do is offset my design inside the red box for placement issues. I'm fairly new to this laser stuff and dont quite know the terminology yet, but I've seen people expand that red box and place their design in a offset corner of that box. I came up with a diagram to help understand what I'm trying to create. Please let me know if you can help out! THANKS

Re: RedBox placement
I put a single pixel at the X0 Y0 point in my drawing to nail down that corner.

Re: RedBox placement
Could you possibly give me instructions on how to do that?

Re: RedBox placement
I use InkScape to create my drawings. So after resizing the page and positioning the art work. I make a box and use the console commands (when the arrow select tool is chosen) to make it 1x1 in size and position it at the 0x0 location. I save as a .svg and feed that into my laser software.
