One reason to change the origin is to make it easier to work with coordinates, measurements, and distance values. While the internal origin cannot move, the user origin and page center can be moved.ĭepending on the design needs, and for some imported files (to maintain the imported file’s coordinates), the user origin needs to shift so that the user origin and the internal origin are in different locations. In a new drawing, the internal origin, the user origin, and the page center are all coincident at (0,0). A user origin also exists drawing coordinates display relative to the user origin. The center of a new Vectorworks drawing has fixed coordinates of (0,0) this location is called the internal origin.
