Design Space - How to make "Print Preview" look exactly like the canvas?
I purchased a Cricut Explore Air for a project I'm working on. I made an 8.5x11 design in photoshop. The intent was to print 4 rockets on each page, and then use the Cricut to accurately cut them out. So I have a stack of 8.5x11 printed sheets and an SVG from photoshop that indicates precise cut lines.
I take the SVG into Design Space, add it to the canvas, and align it EXACTLY where it needs to be in order to accurately cut out the rocket print outs. I've tried attaching and welding the rockets together so that Design Space doesn't try to nest them. This is what the canvas looks like: http://i.imgur.com/OKBNAr6.png - It's important that these are cut exactly where I've intended in the canvas.
However, when I click "Go", Design Space seems to move the group to the top left of the sheet (you can see here: http://i.imgur.com/5JdhLhC.png). Although I can try to eyeball it and nudge the shapes back to where I intended, it's nearly impossible to do this accurately. The difference is, moving these around in the canvas is easier because I can zoom in and see measurements ... doing this in the "print preview" doesn't provide any of the useful measurement info.
So I guess my TL:DR question is: How can I get the "print preview" to look exactly like the canvas that I designed?
