Shape painter - Draw the shape relative to the object position on scene (and make it UN CHECKED by default)

Note: this feature’s discussion continues here Shape Painter: Disable "Draw the shape relative to the object position on scene" by default
-Luni

As someone who’s english is not 1st language i remember seeing this when i started using shape painter

And not having any clue what it does just to later not see my shapes in game being drawn

Even so now i know it means draw from where shape painter object is on your scene (like from its actual position)
I still find it confusing and i see it being confusing for new users and foreigners the most

I propose to change it to something like

Draw from shape painter object position on scene

This should help foreigners and new user have better understanding what it does
If someone who’s english is not 1st language have better idea for name
Then i am all ears

Just to point it out
I am totally aware and i agree it have correct naming i would say it is logic/engine wise 100% accurate name

But for what we aim here?
To have accurate names or names that more users will understand?

On top of that i think it should be un checked by default

Native English speaker here, I remember not understanding what it meant either. Not because of the words used but because of the concept of the shape painter and the choice of where things are drawn.

Some more suggestions:
Draw the shapes at the shape painter position
Use the shape painter position for drawing
Use the position of the shape painter for drawing

This i like

But
“Draw the shapes FROM the shape painter position”

I know your make more sense to you
But as foreigner for me draw at means like draw something at it position
If i would draw rectangle i would expect AT center to be IN X and Y position of shape painter

If i would draw shapes FROM the shape painter position i would my rectangle edge to start from X and Y pos of shape painter

Me the first time with shape painter
