CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 Is it possible to change the direction in which the numbers grow on the rulers?

Is it possible to change the direction in which the numbers grow on the rulers?

Newbie here. I'm going to be using Corel with a laser cutter in which the origin is in the upper-left corner. It would simplify things if I could configure my drawings the same way. I figured out how to set the origin up there, but the y-axis increases negatively down the page from the origin; I'd like it to increase positively in that direction. Is that possible to do? Thanks.

Precisely set guidelines to intersect at the corners you want the zero to be make sure the x & y values are exact. Then make sure snap to guidelines is on. Drag from the corner of the rulers to where you want the zero to be and it should snap to the intersection of your guidelines. Make sure you hit save settings as default.

Thanks, that moves the origin, but it doesn't solve the negative problem. A point 1" from both the x and y axes in the upper-left corner has coordinates (1, -1). I want it to be (1, 1).
