modifying the insertion point in a block

[igreere]

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.

Open the block in the Block Editor and move the "door" to 0,0,0

I entered editing mode and tried to move it from a point to 0,0,0 and it did not do anything.

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.

I am afraid the insbase is correct = 0,0,0

How are you inserting them? From a tool palette or the insert command? Where the blocks created in that dwg or from another dwg.

Attach a sample drawing containing your block

Here it is. The blocks I created in the same doc that I am inserting them into. I use insert (I).block.dwg

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.

Thank you a lot. THE # was the key.
