You can change the origin location and orientation in blocks.

2. In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click a Block and select Edit Block.

   The origin and orientation changes for each block.

3. Click Tools > Sketch Tools > Align > Align Grid/Origin.
4. In the Align Grid/Origin PropertyManager, under Selections:
   • To change only the sketch origin:

     Select a vertex or point for Sketch Origin Location .
     
     

   • To change both the sketch and orientation:
     Click in X-axis or Y-axis, and select a line to change the orientation of the sketch origin.
     
     

     You can select internal or external sketch entities as references to define both the orientation and the location along the X or Y axis.
