Feature request: Absolute positioning - CNC Mill style

Ive been asking for this from day one, loudly and often. The 20x12 artboard hack helps a little in this respect, but numeric positioning, scaling, and rotation should all be included in the UI. Having to bounce back and forth to AI over and over in 20x12 mode, saving, re-uploading, etc is not the optimal solution. I struggle with this almost EVERY TIME I use the laser. Ive lost a lot of materials to being unable to know where my object was placed in the UI, how big/small it was scaled to, and h…

and this is a good holdover for the time being:

We built a quick little hopper item

While we have a lot of work in the hopper to help with positioning, we did make one invisible but handy change now. If you upload an artboard or SVG canvas that is the magic dimensions 12x20, the UI will override its automatic placement of the contents and pin the top-left corner of the artboard to the top-left corner of the screen. This little workaround makes it easier to use jigs, if you so desire. I haven’t tried it myself, but something tells me @takitus will give it a whirl soon. …

Also… if you arent aware of snapmarks, they solve almost all of this.

Feel free to drop me a PM if you want to chat. I have lots of tips around this subject
