Placing hoist origins

The hoist origin serves as a reference point for associated hoists; it is used to calculate the location of the hoists for reports (see Creating hoist reports). Several hoist origins can be placed in the drawing, and different hoists can refer to different hoist origins. The coordinates displayed for each hoist are based on its position relative to the assigned hoist origin.
