The machine_center_is_zero basically defines if this assumption is true. For most printers, this is not the case, since they tend to use the lower left corner for the 0,0.
That being said; What you want isn't possible without code changes.
Thanks for your quick reply!
Could I ask: When you say 'code changes' - do you mean to Cura itself?
As a solution to the Origin icon: If I rotate my platform_OBJ by 180 degrees around the vertical, the Origin icon will be in the correct position, but when loading Cura I'll initially see the back of the printbed (?) If so, I can live with that.
For me to try to understand the Cura display co-ordinates when moving the object: Are you saying that the object co-ordinates displayed when moving around on the print bed bear no relation to the machine xy co-ordinates produced in the gcode?
