checking symbol origin on 0:0

Any ideas on how to check if the origin of a symbol view is at 0:0?

I tried to open the symbol view and see if I can access the shapes and get the xy property, but could not get it to work. Is there like a origin parameter in the symbol view?

Appreciate any suggestions in advance.

Thanks

    0:0 is the origin! There is no separate "origin" parameter. If in the symbol editor you turn on the coordinates in the status banner (this is under Options->Display Options, I think), you'll see that 0:0 is wherever the origin is when you place an instance.

    So there would be nothing to check...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
