KB: Resolve component position offset in ODB++ files

Solution Details

The ODB++ always uses the "Relative Origin" as (0,0).  Under the Advanced tab of the Gerber Setup dialog,  you have the following three options for the "Position on Film"
1  Reference to absolute origin
2  Reference to relative origin 
3  Center on film

Use "Reference to relative origin" to have the Gerber and ODB++ match.
 
 
Absolute origin is the location to which your cursor jumps when you use Edit » Jump » Absolute Origin
Relative Origin is the location to which your cursor jumps when you use Edit » Jump » Current Origin.  This would be any user-defined location set by the command Edit » Origin » Set.  (It can be reset with Edit » Origin » Reset.)
