Hi Luc, Welcome to the forum. Please turn off your Caps Lock key.

 

Anyway,

You dont put the origin at or on a point or other piece of geometry

 

You move the geomtry to the ORIGIN!

 

Got to

 

Main/xform/translate, pick the entities that you want to move.

Then pick the method of moving from menu,"Between Points" Pick a FROM point(of whatever type on your geometry) then pick a TOpoint. choose ORIGIN from the point menu. This will translate the chosen geomtry from where it was to s location with the origin at the point that you chose. Like a corner or bore or whatever

Does this make sense to you?

 

Hope it helps

 

Or of cousre to creat a piece of geomtry at a location , Do what Toolfab sez
