rdgriego Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I am re-arranging a facility layout, when I copy a block and paste it, the block is about 180ft from where I have snapped to. How do I get it to paste where I have snapped it? Regards, RDG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 has the block got its insertion point defined correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdgriego Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 I believe so. I have tried just to paste, to paste "from" a snap point, paste as block. How do I ensure the insertion point is defined correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm not sure with 2009 but if the block is in the drawing I would try BEDIT and select your block. Draw a line from 0,0 to where you think the insertion point is. The insertion point should be 0,0 (unless you have changed the BASE variable) so if you have a line drawn your insertion point is wrong. If you don't have a line then all was OK.

rdgriego Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 The insertion point is correct. I checked the grip settings and the BASE variable, all are normal. This quirk is not just limited to blocks, even if I copy a line, or polyline, the behavior is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm running out of ideas. Is there a UCS playing sillies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdgriego Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 No there is only one UCS. It's like a system variable has been changed, to offset from the snap point. I'm just not sure where it is. I'm trying to find it, but so far no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just an idle thought, but one that should be mentioned to eliminate possibilities, when you mention snap, are you meaning grid snap or object snap Perhaps the grid snap has been activated all unbeknownst.
