Re: path array behavior
mmm...
negative center mass ????

Re: path array behavior
Move center mass to Zero makes sense to me.
Althought... I'm thinking that FreeCAD should make no such assumption on the user's behalf as the exact result, although predictable, may not be the desired one.

Re: path array behavior
There is a way to change the origin point of an object, provided its Shape property is not immutable.
Move it to the origin, putting the new desired origin point on the origin.
Select the object, Ctrl+Shift+P
In the python console:
Object should now be on the origin with its origin point at the origin.
Move it to the origin, putting the new desired origin point on the origin.
Select the object, Ctrl+Shift+P
In the python console:
Code: Select all
obj.Shape = obj.Shape.copy().transformShape(obj.Placement.toMatrix(),True)
obj.Placement = App.Placement()
