Hi,

I would like to move my point of origin (origo).

Is this possible?

If it is possible, how do I set a new point of origin (0, 0)?

>> I would like to move my point of origin (origo).

My favorite way to do this it to move your cursor until you get a LogiCursor snap indicator. You need to be in an input mode vs select mode with logicursor activated. Then hit the "C" key.

Hitting it again at the same location toggles the workplace to various orientations.

1. First C it moves workplane to snap location
2. Next C sets workplane to yz plane
3. Next C sets workplane to xy plane
4. Next C sets workplane to be perpendicular to snapped curve.

To set to origin and top view, move cursor to Axis origin and hit C
