Hi, In FP Designer, when creating complex RJ45 or USB connectors, I am constantly having to reset the origin as I follow the drawing. Nearly all the origin points in these types of drawings are referenced to a pin.
Right now, I select a pin, write down the co-ordinates and enter these as new origin co-ordinates in the Origin tab. Is it possible to reset (relocate) the origin? It would make the entry process a lot smoother and quicker. Thanks, |

No I wasn't and I have realised that using this feature gives me the feature I was looking for. Problem sorted. Many thanks,
