I take it that you want to create a null and have it positioned at the = layer=E2=80=99s anchor point. If that is what you want it=E2=80=99s a = two step process. Create a null then hold down the shift key and parent = the null to the layer. If you do not want to keep the parenting the null = will not move back to it=E2=80=99s original position when you remove the = parenting.=20 OK, I guess it could be a three step procedure.

you could also in one step just use the snapping in the = CC version.=20
 
Drag the null near its anchor point, and hold ctrl (cmd), this will = make=20 the snapping from point the anchor of the null.
Then with crtl pressed drag the null to the anchor of the other = layer
 
This ofcourse only places the null at the position of the other = layer.=20
Rick's suggestion will also translate all other transforms of the = parent=20 layer to the null, like rotation and scale.

I=20 take it that you want to create a null and have it positioned at the = layer=E2=80=99s=20 anchor point. If that is what you want it=E2=80=99s a two step = process. Create a null=20 then hold down the shift key and parent the null to the layer. If you = do not=20 want to keep the parenting the null will not move back to it=E2=80=99s = original=20 position when you remove the parenting.=20
 
OK, I guess it could be a three step procedure.
