Subject: Coordinates in Leap

For a particular application, I use Leap to add charges to the atoms in a protein and then I save the coordinate and prmtop files. I then generate a pdb file that includes the charges using ambpdb with the -pqr option. When I use this approach, the coordinate frame is shifted from what it was in the original pdb file that I read into Leap. It appears that the output from Leap positions the center of mass at (0,0,0). I would like this pdb file that includes the charges to have the same coordinates as in the original pdb file. Is there a way to do this in Leap?
