The length of the end-effector link
Links are locked on the grid, but you can change the length of the coupler links from the input section in the synthesis panel.
The center of rotation of the end-effector link, and what the position coordinate represents
Change the x and y values of the reference point of the coupler position 1
Change the x and y values of the reference point of the coupler position 2
