CLI --output syntax is counterintuitive about svg2gcode

[MadTooler]

I believe it's interpreting -7 as a flag and not an argument. Try putting it in quotes: '-7'.

That is what I was thinking. I tried ' and " for just the x and for both, no joy. Still does not like the -x. I also found if I put a , in front of the x, it assumes x is 0 and uses the first value and ignores the next comma and other value without throwing any errors. Doesn't matter, just more info in case it means anything to you.

Ok, this is a bit counterintuitive. The syntax is actually --origin="-7,0". The way the CLI parses args is a little outdated now. Things may have improved over the past 2-3 years so I'll look into upgrading that to see if it helps.

Also, I see the web interface offset is being scaled by the DPI (as in an offset of 10 turns into 2.64...).

This sounds like a bug. After I fixed the way viewboxes and dimensions are handled, looks like there is an incorrect DPI scaling applied assuming it is in points. I'll push a fix for this soon.

Simple origin offsets as already exist except allow negative values too.

I don't see any reason not to allow this. Will look into why it's not working.

Fixed by e50e42b. The web UI should be up to date now.

Excellent! Both of those items seem to be working now on web UI. Thanks.

I assume yes... Did you update the CLI core as well?

I have not run the update on my RPI for a rust crate type setup. I will have to look into the syntax.

No problem, glad we got that fixed.

Yes the CLI has also been updated.

CLI errors when outputting an --origin with -x value. With -y it acts happy. Where I output --origin -70,-30, it gave me:

error: Found argument '-7' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context
