Control of coordinates during slicing

Control of coordinates during slicing
July 08, 2020 06:27AM
Dear all,

I am using Slic3r on the command line to slice some meshes to svg format for something other than 3D printing. Since slic3r is designed to produce slices for a printer, it is changing the coordinate system by automatically centering the structure on a build plate. I would like the slices to keep the same coordinate system as the mesh. For example, if I build a structure so that the mesh is centered on the origin, I would like the slices to be appropriated arranged around the origin as well.

I have tried passing the flag --dont-arrange at the command line, but this does not seem to have any effect at all on the results.

Is there a way that I can simply turn this recentering feature off? Otherwise, would anyone be willing to share a different solution with me?

Thanks very much!
