vector origin change??

how can you change the origin where a vector begins. I took some X and Y vectors from the vectors tool bar, but their reference point is the origin, how can i change this origin point, or reference plane?

Vectors have magnitude and direction but no locations. If you want to display a Vector in a specific place in the Rhino viewport then there is a component called Vector Display found in The Vectors Tab Vectors section of the toolbar. Click to view

Hi!

Please be aware that the component Danny is indicating only allows to "display" vectors at a specified point in space: you cannot operate on such visualized vectors.

If you want to define the starting point of a vector, there are several ways to make a vector start from a specific point with specific coordinates: the easiest one is by using the vector between two points, you can find it in the same panel, on the left of the vector display button.
