Print Center?

Print Center?

Hello,
Was reluctant to upgrade to .95 after my first attempt were not so successful with slicing. Another thread here helped me with the sli3r directory settings. I have another issue that I did not have with .90 which also deals with sli3r, but not sure how to fix it.

The gcode generated is not in the position I want it. I have a piece at 0,0 which is the bottom left corner of my machine. When I run sli3r from Repetier, I see this in the promt in Repetier:

12:02:32.760 : Slic3r command:C:\Program Files\Repetier-Host\Slic3r\slic3r.exe --load "C:\Users\wiso\AppData\Local\RepetierHost\slic3r.ini" --print-center 180,50 -o "C:\Users\wiso\AppData\Local\RepetierHost\composition.gcode" "C:\Users\wiso\AppData\Local\RepetierHost\composition.obj"

Where is this --print-center 180,50 coming from!? I never set anything besides that I want the prints to center around 0,0. In .90 I never had this issue, and I am not sure where Repetier is getting these paramters. Any ideas?

The only thing that seems to control this 'print center' argument is the Printer Settings. In Printer Settings, if I change the Print Area Width and Depth, when I go to slice, the --print-center location is changed to reflect center of the width, but the other dimension stays at 50 units. I am using a Classic Printer profile. I guess I will revert back to .90 where these issues never came up...
Another strange thing, in .95 I cannot see the EEPROM settings from my machine (running Repetier Firmware .90).

Ok, if I place my piece anywhere else than on 0,0, then it is fine. I moved the piece to 1,1 and the gcode is generated without any issues. Try this with a box with one corner at 0,0 and another corner at 20,20 for example. Such a piece can be placed at 0,0 and the object lies within the print space. Anyways, onward!
