How can I set top left corner to have (0,0) coordinates in Inkscape?
772
I want to reverse the coordinate origin in Inkscape to top left corner. By default (0,0) stays at bottom left. Changing it to top left corner will help me in designing a sprite sheet for my game.
It's targetted to the 0.49 release so perhaps if you try a "nightly" it'll have what you're after?
Edit: In version 1.1 (from the inkscape.dev PPA on launchpad.net, as of 2022-02-06) there is an option in Edit > Preferences > Interface to set the "Origin at upper left ...", if this is unchecked then the origin is at the lower-left, i.e. like an ordinary x-y graph. So, checking that option will result in the behaviour requested.
You can't. There's an ongoing change to address this an additional work on making it user-configurably. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170049

You can download the beta version from the official site, or install it with snap:
