Solidworks origin of a CAD model

Any of you have luck changing the origin of a STEP or SLDPRT file in solidworks, so when it loads into Calypso it does not need to be transformed?
I've looked all over and have watched several youtube videos on the subject, but nothing really.works for me.
Of the last 100 cad models i've imported, i'll bet not more than 2 have needed no transformation, and one customers cad files always come in 400+ inches off in X and Y, which leads me to believe they are zeroed off an assembly origin.

I like to use the move/copy command to move the part to my desired alignment. Using the Constraints options allows you to mate the part with the origin and default planes.
