ArcMap, with the Production Mapping extension, has a tool called Set Origin Vertex which allows you to change the origin vertex of a polygon feature.

https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/production-mapping/set-origin-vertex.htm

This tool is missing in Pro and there doesn't appear to be an equivalent. Can this tool please be carried across to Pro, preferably as a general tool and not part of an extension.

@DavidGifford In Pro, what workflow are you attempting that requires this ability?

Hi Scott

As an example, when applying for certain types of mining tenements a datum/origin is required. This is marked on the ground with a post and on the application form as the start point for a list of coordinates for each vertex. If the polygon isn't created correctly, or the datum has to change due to a feature on the ground, altering the polygon origin with this tool makes it much easier to do.
