  @ajantonio47 The feature @tagger5896 suggested will help you. But you need to calculate the position of the reference point.

  If for example, your layout is originally at 0,0 with the lower left corner, chose "lower left corner" as the reference point and place it a -x, -y where x, y are the measured coordinates of your new origin.

  An approach I often take, is to place that cell at 0,0 in
  another layout, and edit-in-place; then drag all the "guts"
  to where you want the origin to be. Return to top level
  and your placed cell now has its origin as-desired.
