i am trying to use skeinforge to generate my gcode, but i found for my Huxley there is one major issue with it, and that it starts the prints off way too far off to the side, they would not be in my build envelope at all. so dose anyone know where do i find the setting to change the starting point for my prints so that they are printable. using skeinforge.?

Craft - Multiply:

Activate Multiply!

Center X (mm): 100.0
Center Y (mm): 100.0
Number of Columns (integer): 1
Number of Rows (integer): 1
Separation over Perimeter Width (ratio): 4.0

Make sure 0, 0 is in the lower left hand corner of the bed.

I thought the Huxley has a smaller bed. So shouldn't the center be less than 100,100 at half the bed dimensions?

Yes, but not knowing what they are for the Huxley I gave the settings I use for my Mendel.
