...
Note: It is important that the Create Editing History option in on (Options|ACIS) if you want boolean operations to be recorded in a part or assembly. Otherwise the part/assembly will be deleted since it is essentially a new object.
...
You can adjust he location of the Reference point for a Drafting object in the following manner. Reference point functionality applies only to the WorldCS and WorkplaneCS, it isn't allowed for EntityCS. WorldCS is the preferred mode.
...
Note: it is important understand that using the WorkplaneCS will mean the composite WorkplaneCS of all the source 3D entities for Drafting Part/Assembly. The default Reference point will therefore be the Center of Extents of all these entities, not the original as is the case with the WorldCS.

You can also turn Reference point functionality on and off.
