Some models have location data in the file. When there is location data Cura will respect that data and put the model where it is told to.
Most cartesian printers have the origin at the left front corner. Your request would seem to place the model hanging off the left front corner of the build plate.
This is a model at the printer 0,0,0....
This is the same model at what Cura considers to be 0,0,0 of the virtual build plate. This is the default location for 99% of STL files as they rarely have location data in the file. I would guess that at least 50% of 3mf files would also come in at this location. As far as my 230 x 230 printer is concerned this location is X115, Y115 and the numbers in the gcode would reflect that.
So where exactly do you want the model to show up...at the right front corner, or the midpoint of the build plate?
Delta printers are different and the printer 0,0,0 and the midpoint are at the same point in space.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
The center of the imported model does not coincide with the center of the printer zero.
Describe the solution you'd like
the center of the sliced model is the center of the printer.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Possibility of modify the printer configuration center.
