Set An Origin

Setting an Origin allows a common point of reference between Drawings. The location of the Origin is common between Drawings, typically a corner of the building, fire stairs, or services area that remains the same on all Drawings.

Set the Origin of your Drawing by selecting ‘Set Origin’ in the drawing space ribbon. Left-click the point within the Drawing to set the grid reference. Next, navigate to another drawing to find the common point of reference and repeat the process.
