Hello everyone,

I’m super new to Shapr3D but very experienced with other cad systems. I’m struggling with making sure my sketches start at coordinates 0,0,0. It seems like they snap to that point on the grid, but when I move the view it no longer looks like the sketches are.

Thanks!

I experienced this too. It would be nice to be able to specify the coordinates by entering actual numbers (and entering only one 0 should be equal to 0,0,0).  
Would this be possible?

Interesting, can you post a screenshot of the issue?
