AutoCad :: Create A Block So That The Base Point Is The Only Snap Point On The Block?
Aug 22, 2013is it possible to create a block so that the base point is the only snap point on the block?
In other words supose I have a block of a simple rectangle with the base point in the center.
If I try to snap to the block, I will be able to snap to all the corners, but not the base point. I know that i can put a point at the base point, but can I turn off the snap to the corners (just for the block) in other words, have an object that is unsnapable to without turning the snap mode off.
AutoCad :: Insert Block - Switch Between Base-point And 0,0,0 Point?
Apr 29, 2013I'm inserting blocks into my drawing and the block has a basepoint and a 0,0,0 point. The CAD guy who usually works with me is off today but he has a keyboard method of switching between the 2 points when inserting the block.
Its a fairly straight forward thing on his keyboard, nothing he has set up but standard in autocad.
I've had a try hitting a few keyboard buttons this morning but can't seem to do it.

AutoCAD LT :: 2012 - Move And Stretch Base Point Selection
Feb 10, 2012I select my objects to move, then I select my Base Point to move my objects away from, then when I select my destination point the command changes the Base Point to the selected destination point and asks me again to select a destination point.
I have realized this problem occurs not only with the move command, but also the stretch command. Also, it does not matter if I am using command modifiers or not, the problem occurs regardless. Also, it does not matter how I hit enter using the command (keyboard enter button, space bar, or right mouse button) the problem occurs regardless, and occurs entirely AT RANDOM.
Following previous what I have attempted to resolve the problem:
- remove the AutoCAD LT 2012 from the computer entirely and re-install
- installed the latest LT 2012 Service Pack
- changed the mouse to a new, wired mouse (I was already using a wired mouse in the first place)
- change the keyboard (which I think is irrelevant since changing the mouse did not work either)

Dec 6, 2011I am in the process of creating a few really useful dynamic blocks. My problem is I wish to collect them in a library folder so each block is a stand alone dwg file. I know I used to to this in 2011LT, but that was some time ago and I have since changed company and we have 2012LT. I cannot for the life of me remember how to do this.
I have tried to do it the usual w-block way, but when I import them into a new drawing they are actually a block within a block. Is there a better way of doing this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Shifting Base Point
Mar 24, 2011I am in the process of converting some static blocks to dynamic blocks. My procedure has been:
1) cut the drawing out of model space.
2) erase all
3) purge all
4) open the block editor and paste drawing in
5) set the base point to 0,0
But when I insert the block in another drawing the base point shifts. I have included the block (_beam.dwg) and the block inserted (dwg.dwg)
Why? I must be missing a setting, property or something.

AutoCad :: Updating Xrefs Which Has Moved Base Point
Oct 3, 2012I would like to easily update an xref which has moved base point. I work doing mechanical and electrical drawings and we draw our stuff with the Architect's background xref 'd in. Sometimes though, they will change the base point for no reason and all the m&e stuff is miles away. There are two things I can do, I can moved their xref they sent us to match the old location or I can move the m&e stuff to suit the new location (i normally do this because i want to use their base point which is the right thing to do, but i would have to move all the things in all the m&e drawings to suit). Is it better to update an xref that has moved base point but without all the hassle?
