Nice addition.

It could be useful to define other reference points too.

For most of my layouts I insert footprints called LL and UR.
These define the bounding box for a panelization script. I use
LL to calculate XY coordinates for parts placement and
a PCB dimensioning script.

To fix this, we introduced an optional &quot;pick and place origin mark&quo=
