Enhancement request - allow entering starting point relative to home.

Hi Chris,

How easy would it be to allow entering an X and Y offset to 0,0 so one could more easily place the engraving on the required object when burnt. Or even allow an object to be placed on a separate layer and rendered as shown in the attached file. The grid is a locked layer which would not be included in the rendering. I have used the locked layer mode with the J Tech Photonics Inkscape plugin and at least with Inkscape .92 it worked well. With Inkscape 1.0 it always seems to rendered the locked layer and they haven't fixed the code yet. I believe your code is a better way forward.

Hello @horga83 , I have setted Y offset using G-Code commands, for example:

Move to Y 90mm position : G0 X0 Y90 Z45;

Set as current position Y=0 (ignore the 90mm position) G92 Y0;

Then all the next movements have a 90mm Y axis offset.
