Ok, I have an assembly and placing existinh components in it.... What is the fastest way to move Origin to Origin if I place it wrong? 

 

Thx,

Matt

Joints are the best way to align and place components.  Origins may change their relative position to a body depending on how the body/component was moved.

I agree with @etfrench.... you most likely want to learn about joints, joint origins, and how to use them.

 

HOWEVER - 

Your specific question is slightly different. If you really want to move an inserted (child) origin back to the master (parent) origin, then use Move > Point to Position as shown below.

Thanks for the headsup, @lichtzeichenanlage
