Default Setting origins

I'm intending using AC3D to create representations of PCB objects to use in a PCB layout package called Boardmaker3.

All seems to work fine, bar one simple thing, I am unable to find how I set the origin of an object, group of objects or merged object at a point of my choice (as opposed to 're-center' or 'min-center') so when the .ac file is opened by Boardmaker it aligns the model origin with the PCB footprint origin.

It must be blindingly obvious but I can't find it! I'm new to this and I suspect I'm searching for the 'wrong' phrase - can anyone point out the error of my ways?

Many thanks!

Default Re: Setting origins

You could try Tools->Object-property-editor and change it there.
