Repositioning origin

[Anonymous]

In AutoSketch V2.1 you could reposition the origin by simply clicking in the upper left hand corner of the drawing area
Is there any way to reposition the origin in V3.2 without displacing the entire drawing an equal amount?

Sorry, the only way to change the offset from the drawing to the origin
is to select the entire drawing and move it to the origin. Currently
there is no provision to relocate the origin in relation to the drawing
as in AutoCAD or Sketch 2.1.

From the AutoSketch 7 and 8 help topic for "Drawing and Grid Origin":

"By default, the drawing and grid origins are located in the lower left
corner of the drawing page. AutoSketch measures all points in relation
to the drawing origin. You can easily change the location of the origin,
but if you move the origin, all entities in the drawing move with it.

To hide the origin from view, uncheck the Drawing Origin check box on
the Appearance page of the View Options dialog box.
To change the drawing origin colors, click the axis (direction) you
want to change on the Appearance page of the View Options dialog box.
The Color dialog box appears. Simply adjust the Red, Green, and Blue
color values (RGB values) and click OK."
