Hi Guys, Thanks for all the feedback. I associate the origin with the board file because there is only one board. It might make more sense in the [pcbnew] section of the project file if multiple boards were supported in future. I do think it could do with being saved though, it'd be a great help for anyone who has re-positioned the origin. Lorenzo, I use this feature because I always like to position switches, connectors and other mechanical features relating to a single datum point (usually lower left of PCB edge, but sometimes the enclosure is included too, and the board should be made to reference from that. Previously I used to have to put my board off of the sheet legend that is present in PCBNEW so that it's lower left corner was the datum at 0, 0.
