I add a base point to the block in the block editor at a point where the block will be inserted into the drawing usually mid point or center of the geometry. All of the blocks we use are dynamic and have multiple visablity states.

Not sure why but if I am grabbing something already drawn, like an equipment skid, I will always use the lower left of the objects as the base point, unless a center point seems the more likely spot for insertion. But, for a single object like a dim arrow, I will draw that at 0,0 and use 0,0 as the insertion point.

Definitely pick on the block and not 0,0,0. The exact point varies with the block geometry.

That may be the first time we have agreed on anything.:shock: I'm going to have to mark that on my calendar.:lol:

I always assign a logical basepoint for blocks. I use WBLOCK occasionally, but not make "blocks"

Oh, come on... :o

I'm still a newbie on forum and I have a huge respect for you and others guys. I don't think I argue with any of you... :D

No, you usually don't argue with me. It's the other way around! LoL
