&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Original Tip Date: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;February 2001&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Updated:&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;October 2010&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assign global origin&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To assign the&amp;nbsp;global origin,&amp;nbsp;key in&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;active origin &lt;/em&gt;or &amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;GO = [Enter] &lt;/em&gt;and you&amp;#39;ll be the tool settings dialog will present two modes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-04/5661.go.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Monument Point&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; which allows you to punch in your own values that will be assigned to a specific location in the file.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, The SE corner of a site plan&amp;nbsp;indicates that&amp;nbsp;it&amp;#39;s located at XY=2530,-4375&amp;nbsp;when it should be at XY=0,0.&amp;nbsp; In this situation, you could either move the geometry 2530 units to the left and 4375 units up to get it positioned correctly, or simply key in &lt;em&gt;GO=0,0&lt;/em&gt;, set the mode to &lt;em&gt;Monument Point,&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; and&amp;nbsp;identify the SE corner of the site plan.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Center&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;which locates the global origin to the center of the design plane (2D) or cube (3D).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Additional Information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can determine the location of the existing global origin by keying in &lt;em&gt;GO=$.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/em&gt;MicroStation will then display the global origins offset from the center of the design plane (2D) or cube (3D).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-04/7446.GO-dollar.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Be aware.&amp;nbsp; In versions prior to V8i, MicroStation will display the distances along the axis from the design plane origin to the point in the file that has the coordinates of 0,0.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And finally, if you make an error while setting the global origin, do &lt;em&gt;not &lt;/em&gt;close the file.&amp;nbsp; Instead, navigate to &lt;em&gt;Workspace &amp;gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Preferences &amp;gt; &amp;nbsp;Operation&lt;/em&gt; and ensure that &lt;em&gt;Save Settings on Exit&lt;/em&gt; is turned OFF.&amp;nbsp;Then simply close and re-open the file.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
