Darcy, I use AD4 w/SP4 so I would change the origin of the footprint in the PCB library then update the footprint to the PCB. I might then have to select all of the same footprints and use the PCB Inspector to move all of those footprints that had their origin changed. I'm not sure how this would work with 99se. Then again, I could be really confused and be misunderstanding your question.

For example, we have a design in which the pin 1 marker (which is a part of the component definition) will be obscured by other features. This design is panelized in Protel. I'd like to be able move the pin 1 globally to avoid having to repanelize, but can't find a way to move these markers all at once. If the marker wasn't a part of a component, it would be easy to do a global select and then move the selection by the desired offset, but this doesn't seem to work for component primitives. Just to stop the assertions that I should panelize the Gerbers in Camtastic rather than panelizing the design in Protel, there are several features on the panel which necessitate doing this in Protel.
