I need to give this path an absolute position. I have tried setting cx and cy attributes, but this did not work.

What can I do to set an absolute position?

Answer 1

Use the transform attribute to position the path, like

transform="translate(50,80)"  

Other transformations like scale or rotate are also available. See the specs.
