Summary0003129: Path - Bug in Start Point when one coordinate is zero
DescriptionThe Path workbench provides an option to select a specific starting point for a machining path, overriding the automatically chosen starting point. This allows for special cases that may be required by certain machines and certain workpieces.

The selected start points works correctly with one important exception. If one of the requested coordinates (for example X-position or Y-position) is exactly zero that coordinate is completely ignored when creating the internal path code and the resulting gcode. If the coordinate is very slightly different from zero, say 0.00001 mm, then the operation works correctly.
Steps To Reproduce* Create FreeCAD model, Path Job, Path Tools, etc in the usual manner.
* Create a path, such as a Pocket or Profile, so that the final position of the tool is not left at (0,0). For instance, the tool ends up at (10,10) at the completion of the path.
* Create another path, such as a Profile, with a requested start point of (20,0), for example.
* The actual start point in the resulting gcode will be (20,10) instead of the requested (20,0).
* If the requested start point is (20,0.00001) then the actual start point will be correctly set as (20,0.00001).

Just submit a PR for this.

This reported behavior is actually intentional. But it does disallow the user to specify the origin as the start position. With the above PR, the behavior of Path.fromShapes is changed such that it will respect any start position you pass in. If no start parameter is given, only then will it auto select one.

No response. Assuming the PR resolved the issue. Will reopen if OP reports differently
