Hatch Edit
I discovered this quick editing tools for hatches in the quad.
I am blown away how quick it is working, so I wanted to thank BricsCad for this.
It's a real time saver!
To change the hatch origin would be a good extension and additional to select boundaries for adding hatch ….
(edit: select boundries? press S, and it is possible, easy WOW)

Change a hatch's origin by clicking in the "Origin point" field in the Properties panel and then on the point where you want the origin to be.

Wouldn't it ge great if this could be done for a Block's origin point!

Yes, and maybe it could be done with a lisp-based custom command that just prompts the user to pick the new insertion point. Maybe someone's already done that.
But it might be a little risky. Moving the origin point of a hatch only affects the hatch(es) currently selected. But moving the insertion point of a block definition would also affect any other insertions of the same block.

Indeed, Lee Mac has done it, and without the risk I suggested. It's the CBPR custom command at:
Just select a block insertion and then pick a new insertion point. All insertions of the block stay where they are, but the block definition has a new insertion point, which will be used for future insertions, and for osnapping "to insertion point" of existing insertions.
