salman Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I often need to perform offset of objects existing in xref drawings. for that I have to first draw line/pline etc along the xref entity and then offset that new created line etc. Is it possible to directly offset the xref entity instead of first creating its copy in the working drawing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 you could always NCOPY the entities from the xref (no need to redraw them then) then you could use offset ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Alan, Quick question - what does the transformation matrix do in that code? - I've never really got to using one, (except in grvecs). Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanjt Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Entmake a nested object and you'll see that it creates it at 0,0,0. You have to use the transformation matrix to correct the placement, based on the original object's matrix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
