Setting different orgins for differnt glyphs

I posted a longer question before this thread, but to make the question simpler, I am shortening the question now..

How do I set an orgin for a glyph? I need to have different origins for multiple glyphs so that not every glyph is centered at 0,0 when I import all of those glyphs to ArcMap symbology.
(I imported EPS images to fill out my glyphs)

My problem is shown on the attached image. I have a Black Triangle and a Green Butterfly and they are all centered at 0,0 when I put them together in ArcMap symbology, which I don’t want.
I want to set the origin of the Black Triangle as something like (0,-5) and the Green Butterfly as (0,5) so that the Green Butterfly sits on top of the Black Triangle without overlapping each other.
I could give some offset values to move them up and down, but I want to know how I can change the origin of each glyphs so that I don’t have to change anything after I import them to ArcMap

Thanks.

You could add a contour with a single point near the origin. It won’t show but it might stop your software from defining it’s own origin based on the actual outline.

To create a contour with a single node, insert a rectangular contour and delete three of the nodes. This single node contour can be copied and pasted to other glyphs.
