In the Eggbot Control extension, there used to be an option called "Start with pen centered". This option has been removed, and starting with the pen centered is the default (and only) behavior now. | In the Eggbot Control extension, there used to be an option called "Start with pen centered".

− | + | So what does this option do? It tells the Eggbot that when you start a plot with either the "Plot" or "Layers" tab, that the pen is resting at the (x, y) point (W/2, H/2) in your drawing. Here W is the width of your drawing page (template) while H is its height. Often these are, respectively, the values 3200 and 800 pixels. If your drawing is vertically centered relative to the Inkscape drawing page, and you park the pen midway between the egg's top and bottom, then your drawing should be plotted well centered on your egg. | |
