    Default rotating and scaling blocks

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    is there anyway to rotate blocks associated with desc keys globally and not having to manually do it?

    is there a way to make a block come in at double whatever the drawing scale is?

    I had to draw the layout of a brewery. Namely all motors that drive all the conveyors. I had a hundred or more to do (SEW eurodrive gearmotor) with 4 different orientations.

    I made 4 buttons on my menu calling the same block. below is only one of the buttons inserting the block and rotating it 180

    [_Button("ext", "macRIGHT.bmp", "macRIGHT.bmp")]^C^C-NSERT;sew-p;R;180;\;;

    You can do the same with cui, (I'm too stubborn and still do it the old way)

    The example is insert rotate 180. You can also/instead put in scale 2
