I am trying to export a DXF, that will be used in ORCAD PCB. Regardless of the 0,0 on the part, the exported DXF defaults to the bottom left corner of the border. When going into "sheet background" the origin is shown and can be snapped to. In the working view, I cannot find a way to snap the zero of the board, to the zero of the drawing sheet. The goal is to output the DXF's with the boards 0,0 , the same as the sheet 0,0. This will make importing into ORCAD consistent and the user will not have to move things around to line up,

Is there any way to define the 0,0 of an exported DXF?

Is there a way to put a view in "sheet background" and constrain to the zero?

Any help would be appreciated.
