insert block to same point as previous or last

[deano33]

I have created the following macro to insert a block and then its relative notation over the top.

 

Is there a way to modify this so the second block automatically picks the same insertion point as the first.

 

^C^C-layer;make;m-ac;c cyan;;;-insert;"sanyo ac/ac-vrf fcu u075-u185.dwg";\1;1;\;^C^C-insert;"sanyo ac/ac-vrf fcu u075n.dwg";\1;1;0;

 

Basically I want to insert a block like a box, specify its rotation on screen and insert a note/model number in the middle and maintain rotation angle 0 so note is always upright.

 

Maybe this is simpler and I can apply a setting to the text within the first block to maintain rotation 0.

 

Any ideas please help.

I take it you are using LT?

 

Is DIESEL allowed in LT?

[deano33]

Yes & Yes but not mastered diesel yet. Any ideas please?

Well, in DIESEL you could have:

 

$(getvar,lastpoint)

Absolutely Superb. Thankyou very much. I really need to learn Diesel now. I know you can pole for system variables and have used getvar before but need to read through them help files.

 

Again many thanks.
