Remove Transform Data from SVG Code

[paul knight]

Hi

I have a simple type based logo i've designed.  The logo has been moved (centered) on the artboard and I need to set transform coordinates back to 0,0 or remove the transform-translate data after it has been centered. 

When I do Object > Artboards > Fit to Artwork bounds, the transform-translate is removed, but when I alter the artboard dimensions this information is put back into the svg code. I do need some space on the artboard to allow for a javascript animation, and obviously don't want to have to completely re-do the logo.

I've also tried right-clicking my mouse and doing Transform > Reset Artboard Bounds

What i need is to position my logo in the centre of the artboard with the align tools and then use this position as the (0,0) co-ordinates or remove the transform-translate data, but keep the logo in the final position.

Any help would be amazing.

Paul.

I solved this by adding a background rectangle as a context layer that covered the artboard and then aligned the logo to the background rectangle
