Is there an existing issue for this problem?

I have searched the existing issues

OrcaSlicer Version

Operating System (OS)

Windows

OS Version

Windows 11 Pro

Additional system information

No response

Printer

Flashforge AD5X

How to reproduce

Write some custom filament change gcode that includes the [x_after_toolchange] (or y) placeholder.
Place a multi-colored object on any plate other than the first one.
Observe the generated gcode - the X coordinate will be the raw one (as used in the slicer), not adjusted for the plate.

Actual results

See above.

Expected results

The values for these placeholders should be adjusted for the plate - OR if there is a reason for not doing so, the reason (and workaround) should be clearly documented here: https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/wiki/Built-in-placeholders-variables#toolchange-and-wipe-tower-placeholders

Project file & Debug log uploads

n/a - relates to Orca not doing something it should, not a project fault
