Two question:

1) How I can overcome error when I add arboard outside canvas? Try/catch does not help here, at least on my computer.

2) How I can set up ruler so 0,0 is at the top left of the canvas (canvas not artboard)

I don't think you can create an artboard outside the canvas

 

check this thread for a sample of how to get the 0,0 canvas coordinates

I did not want to put outside canvas I wanted oposite. I tried with try/catch when it is outside but it did not work. This is why I asked second question.

 

But you gave nice workaround for this. 

Thank you!
