Can't set board origin, to update coords? 7.0.1

[Borgling]

Hi All,

New to KiCad and having a basic issue. Version 7.0.1

Watching a tutorial KiCad V6 - Tutorial - Changing the origins that suits you - YouTube

I was looking to set my Coords system to start at the top left of my board. Watching the tutorial, you press S then click where you want it to go. Then using properties you can set specific x,y coords relative to the top left of my board.

When doing this, my grid updates, but not the coords system, setting something to 0,0 position sets it top left of the worksheet.

In this image, you can see the Grid is set to top left of board, but seeting something to 0,0 sets it top left.

Is this a bug, or has a feature changed. I just want it to work like first part of the tutorial, 0,0 is the top left of my board, not top left of the whole page.

Thanks!

DOH worked it out. You need to change to origin and axis settings in preferences to do it this way.

Origin setting give me only dx & dy

hi , i want to place 4 holes on my board.i set one hole and i want the oyhers hole will be at same position from x and y as the first hole. i set the origin in the left corner down and press space bar . now the the dx & dy are zero . but it doesn’t help me beacause i want to place all the holes relative to the first hole relative to the origin board that i have set relative to x & y. i can’t enter the X Y values because they are relative to the origin of the page up left corner. is there…

There is no direct answer to your question but may be it will help a little.

And…
I didn’t know that changing origins was possible in V6. Really it was?
