[SOLVED] Changing the coordinates of a .wks page

[patrickMULOT]

Where to specify the coordinates of a .wks page?
I would like this page to be in x:0.000 and y:0.000.
Thank you in advance for your help.

As far as I know, there is no way to do this. (0, 0) is always in the upper right corner of the sheet in both the schematic and PCB editors.

I had a short look around in the drawing sheet editor, and I’ve never had much luck with it. For me the grid seems to be fixed at 500mil and I can’t find a way to change this. Is this just me, or a bug?

Sorry for the confusion, but I found the solution. Just place the coordinates of the grid on the upper left corner of the circuit board, and the page automatically goes to 0 0.
Thanks for your help.

Confusion only grows.
Apparently you have abandoned modifying the drawing sheet…

In the PCB editor there are (at least) four different coordinate sets.

1. Absolute coordinates, which always start at the upper left corner of the “drawing sheet”.
2. Grid coordinates (These are settable and resettable).
3. Placement / Drill coordinates (Settable, just like the grid).
4. Differential coordinates. These get reset to the cursor location when the [Space Bar] is pressed, and are meant for making quick measurements. (you can see (dx, dy) in the bottom status area).
