Retaining component nets after changing the origin

I have a Footprint placed in PCB for which I have changed the Origin from Pin 1 to body center. When I update the footprint in PCB Editor the nets are getting ripped off. I want to know is there any procedure to update the symbol without affecting the nets.

I am using OrCAD PCB Designer Professional - 17.4 S033

When changing the origin of a symbol, PCB Editor moves the placed symbol so that the new origin coincides with the old origin position. So, as a result, there will be ratsnests that will appear once the you update the symbol.
