    You may change your symbol origin to the geometric centroid of the part to achieve what you are asking.

    Keep in mind also, once you place your component that you have some flexibility in moving the part in Allegro. There are several options for selecting the origin in the control panel; Symbol Origin, Body Center, User Pick and Symbl Pin# (use any pin as the origin).
