    Which exact version are you running? It may be possible that this function isn't correctly implemented in the version that you are running, or you may be trying to set an origin that isn't possible within the current design parameters. The Drawing Origin can also be moved from Setup>Design Parameters, Design tab.

     i am using "Orcad PCB Designer Professional v17.2. 

    the method you mentioned is working fine. But it is better with "Change Drawing Origin" function where origin can be assign by mouse clicking.

    Appreciate your answer. Thanks.

    17.2 isn't an "exact" version. 17.2 started out in April 2016 and the current version is 17.2-2016.s082 from March 2022. Which exact version you are running may be related to what you are seeing with the Change Origin function.
