I use other software to create an SVG (OpenSCAD) and when I import it to Carbide Create it looses the origin.
For instance, in OpenSCAD I do:
translate([30,30]) square(10);
This should create a cube that does not have its corner at [0,0] and the SVG path reflects this:
...
<path d="
M 30,-30 L 40,-30 L 40,-40 L 30,-40 z
...
Why does CC put it in the bottom corner? If I create several SVGs to be imported to different layers in CC they no longer line up properly.
Carbide Create preserves the left–right origin, but locates the lowest element along the bottom edge — my solution for this is to either place a square with one corner at the origin, or to surround the entire design with a rectangle which matches the intended Stock Size.
Draw an extents box around your artwork and include it for export. That will allow CC to land it correctly. Delete the extents box in CC.
