I'm interested in trying out PixelCNC, but I can't seem to make any changes to the Input Origin in the trial version. Clicking on X-Offset, Y-Offset, or Z-Offset seems to have no effect. Also can't type new values. I'd really like to try out a simple job before I buy, but the origin for my machine needs to be 0, 0.

The origin offset parameters control where the machine origin (i.e. x0. y0. z0.) is relative to the project's volume. You must press 'Apply' below the origin offset inputs in order to update the positioning of the project relative to the machine origin, which is depicted as a red/green/blue axis. If you want the front-left top corner then use an X/Y offset of zero percent and a Z offset of 100%. This is detailed further in the User Guide found in the Help menu.

I did read all of that in the user guide... the problem I'm having is that nothing I do changes the values shown in the 3 offset fields in the dialog box.

They are knobs that you click-drag up and down.

EDIT: You can also scroll the mouse-wheel over them to increment/decrement them through their value range.
