Hi :) Can you give some more info about what you did, and what happened, and what you would have expected to happen? Also about the units you used.
What I can see is that there's the coordinate for 100 (mm? px?...) in x direction at about 350 mm...

Yes, we've had reports that some of the gcodetools aren't working properly with 0.92. Waiting for reply here: https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/ind ... opic=486.0

I know this is old, but I am new. Just loaded Inkscape and found engraving was wrong in size. I have found, as others have said, changing the 100,00,00 to 354.5,00,00 (which is the number in the top scale that lines up with the 100 number), corrected the problem. I found on one of my computers, after two days, the program had corrected this error, probably a download????
For those that have a problem with the datum 0,0 being at the bottom left of the page, if you click on the point of the arrow, you can drag the arrow and datum to the top left of the page, or anywhere else, and in my case, works great for setting your datum 0,0 to start my engraving, by putting my design top left corner at the point of the arrow.
I hope this useful for others who like me, dont really know about programing stuff.

There's a fix available for this in Inkscape 0.92.3, just update.
