    You can't move the origin. You have to move the the data around it.

    You could use move body to move the point of the body to the origin. You
    can use a sketch point and the origin to move the body so the origin is
    exactly were you want. I have done this for exporting to SurfCAM with the
    correct origin.

    Did you right-click the Sketch, and choose "Edit Sketch Plane"?
