igreere Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hello. I have drawn some doors and saved them as blocks. Whenever I insert one or another, the door itself is far away from the insertion point. How can I modify this? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Open the block in the Block Editor and move the "door" to 0,0,0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igreere Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 I entered editing mode and tried to move it from a point to 0,0,0 and it did not do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hughes Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Open the block drawing and examine the "INSBASE" system variable and set it to 0,0,0. You might ask "how did that get like that?" - it happens when you create a wblock and select a base point other than 0,0,0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igreere Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 I am afraid the insbase is correct = 0,0,0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph_map Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 How are you inserting them? From a tool palette or the insert command? Where the blocks created in that dwg or from another dwg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Attach a sample drawing containing your block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igreere Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Here it is. The blocks I created in the same doc that I am inserting them into. I use insert (I).block.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I entered editing mode and tried to move it from a point to 0,0,0 and it did not do anything. Your block is currently at X = -4406.1533 Y = 3738.9143 Z = 0.0000 Open the block editor and MOVE the door to 0,0,0 using the hash tag (#) if necessary to specify absolute coordinates.
