invisible to snap blocks

[anishtain4]

Hi all

Is there anyway that the whole block be invisible to snap except the pivot point of it?

[anishtain4]

no clue? no one ever needed this?

[ReMark]

Pivot point? Are you referring to rotating around a single point?

 

This can't be accomplished using a dynamic block?

[eldon]

Pivot point

 

Might translate as Insertion point

[eldon]

Set the system variable GRIPBLOCKS to 0 so that only the Block Insertion is visible, set it to 1 for all grips in the block to be visible.

You are right I meant insertion point, but what I want is that when you want to create line and snap is on, it jumps only to the insertion point of your object, not ever corner and else

If you have your osnaps turned on, enter INS at the commandline, you will be prompted to specify the object you want>enter, done. Or you could just set your osnap settings as shown in the attachment. Perhaps Eldon's solution is more succinct.

It will do this if you have multiple snaps, including the Insert, activated. In this case, turn on only those snaps that you need, or cycle through the snaps until you get the one that you want

thanks dadgad, I think adding a point and then turning the snap to nodes is the best, but GRIPBLOCKS does not do what I want, It is default to zero and it means if you want to move a block after selecting that

GRIPBLOCK does not disable the Insert snap point, it merely adds grips to the block's entities, so you can still move the block.

 

It was rather hard to find out exactly what you were wanting to do, and it seemed, at the time, to be perhaps a fruitful line of exploration.

I know eldon, and the final solution is the fruit of your line

thanks
