This is a gap in Fusion today. We do not offer the ability to create user defined coordinate systems. You could vote up similar ideas in the Ideastation, like the one below.
This is the best way to let the product manager team know what feature you'd like to see. You may want to add your own suggestions in specific to setup in the CAM environment.
You can use the coordinate system option to define the setup. However, it will only orient to the root coordinate system at this time. Creating a setup using the coordinate system for a new component in the design (not the root coordinate system), will not rotate/orient the setup's coordinate system in alignment with that component.
Although I suspect this is just a limitation and not a bug, I did log it with development via report ID CAM-7171 so that they'll have a closer look.
As to your point about the origin jumping around, I think that may be worth exploring more. What are the exact steps you're following when the issue occurs? If there's any chance you could record a screencast of the behavior you're seeing, it would be helpful to gain an understanding of why the setup is cumbersome.
I hope that helps.
Thanks,
