<p>I'm recreating a Sketch composition in AE. To ease the process I would like to change the position of 0,0 from the center of the comp to bottom left. That would make it possible for me to translate the position values from Sketch to AE w/o doing any calculations.</p>

<p>Is it possible to change the position of 0,0 from the center of a composition to e.g. bottom left? Preferably w/o using expressions.</p>

The coordinates of the composition are [measured](https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/selecting-arranging-layers.html#coordinate_systems_composition_space_and_layer_space) from the top left and there doesn't appear to be a way to change it.

What stops you from entering all your position values, then selecting everything and dragging it into place? Would that work?
