# Set Origin

Setting an Origin allows a common point of reference between Drawings. The location of the Origin is common between Drawings, typically a corner of the building, fire stairs, or services area that remains the same on all Drawings.

## Set an Origin

Set the Origin of your Drawing by selecting ‘Set Origin’ in the drawing space ribbon. Left-click the point within the Drawing to set the grid reference. Next, navigate to another drawing to find the common point of reference and repeat the process.
