Move sketch to origin

What is the best way to move a sketch so that its corner is exactly at the origin. Is it necessary to create a point at 0,0,0 first? Ihad assumed it would snap to the origin, and it looks OK at normal size. But when I zoom in, the corner is not on the origin.

Project Geometry
You might want to set it in your Application Options.

Use Project Geometry and Project the Origin Point from the Origin Features Folder. Then use a constraint such as Coincident to lock the sketch on that point or use the Move command in the 2D Sketch Environment to move your Sketch to that location (works best with 2008 as 2008 allows you to relax dimensions and constraints during the move).

Gah!! JD you got me while I was typing! Message was edited by: mark.flayler

If not set in the application properties, the origin is not
automatically projected in the sketch, so that you have to project it
manually in order to be able to snap onto it.
