I'm looking through the (very old) docs and searching the python code, but I can't find any references to Disallowed areas.
Any help where to find this setting?

I guess this is in the BETA version of the software, because the only information I can find on it is for 15.06.xx Beta.
Sorry, but I think I'll wait until the final release to try this.
Edited by GuestThe old Cura also has disallowed areas, but they might have a different name. They are called like that in the beta.
Hello, got the same printer, did you find a solution for this?
I know this an old thread, but I had the same issue and discovered a solution. Using the manual controls to auto-home and move the X and Y axes, I measured the front left corner of my print bed (where the tape starts) at Y+30mm X+25mm from the end stops. In the Cura machine settings, I then modified the start gcode to move to that position before printing and set it as the new zero. After doing this, the prints are centered. My start gcode is now:
G21 ;Set units to mmG90 ;Absolute positioningG28 X0 Y0 ;HomeG28 Z0 ;HomeG1 Z15.0 F3000 ;Raise to dodge bed screwsG0 Y30 ;Move Y to 30G0 X25 ;Move X to 25G92 X0 Y0 Z15 ;Set this position as the new X/Y zero;Standard extruder setup belowG92 E0G1 F200 E1G92 E0
wigginx: Yup, that's pretty much exactly what I do as well.
No disallow areas required and can also be set in other slicers.

I used this information, with some adjustments. I have the glass bed, with clips, two on "bottom" and two on "top", and one on "left" and one on "right" of the bed, I placed the printer nozzle to have the 0,0 at 14mm/14mm, and that gave me about 207x212mm of clear print space. I print a small line to the left just to make sure that there is filament into the nozzle when print starts. It is outside the virtual rectangle, and does not touch any of the paper clips.
I used this start g-code
G92 E0 ; Reset Extruder G28 ; Home all axes G1 Z2.0 F3000 ; Move Z Axis up little to prevent scratching of Heat Bed G1 X1 Y5 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; Move to start position G1 X1 Y100.0 Z0.3 F1500.0 E7.5 ; Draw the first line G1 X1.3 Y100.0 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; Move to side a little G1 X1.3 Y5 Z0.3 F1500.0 E15 ; Draw the second line G92 E0 ; Reset Extruder G1 X7 Y5 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; Move over to prevent blob squish G21 ;Set units to mm G90 ;Absolute positioning.

You can use disallowed areas to "fix" this. Its not the best solution, but it should work.
