AutoCad :: Create A Block So That The Base Point Is The Only Snap Point On The Block?
Aug 22, 2013
is 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.

I'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.

I want to move the base point of a block in the block editor. However, when I move it, the block moves accordingly in the drawing.
How can i move the base point in the editor, so that the block stays at the same position in the drawing.

Is there a way to create a block with attributtes that automatically complete x, y, z, lat, long for the insertion point of the block?
I am trying to complete text in paperspace that will automatically fill in the lat long of a point in model space without using a table. I have tried field insertion with reference to a cogo point, but it doesn't give options for position on a cogo point. If I pick a block with attributes, it will let me pick any attributes, and x,y position for the block.
Cogo points show all the information I need to propagate in the properties....but how do I get that to translate into the text using fields or some other method?

I have been using copy paste with base point on block from drawing to drawing but sometimes the block insert but it is not showing. I go to insert block is there but does not show in the drawing. Then tried to purge it and it does not let me because it is in the drawing but I can find it any where. Then I tried to do the insert block look for the block and inserted as a block and the same result.

We're using C3D 2013 SP2. The survey company we use uses point styles to show the blocks. Say they shoot a catchbasin. Instead of inserting the block, the point shows up as the block.
I did a field check & needed to insert a missed CB. When I inserted the block, the other points that were CBs disappeared. I had to insert the block, copy it the clipboard, undo the insertion & then paste the block in. It did this on other drawings & other blocks.

my problem is whenever i make a new block a stretch point appears even if its not a dynamic block . also its not a stretch point, because when i click on it, it just move the block , and it always appear on the coordinates 0,0 it cause me a problem when I insert the block , autocad use this point as a base point , and its very far from the real block .

I am learning autolips and i found a problem that i can´t solved.
(vl-load-com)(defun c:pmb ( / ss ent pt )(prompt "
selec block : ")(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "INSERT")))) (setq ent (ssname ss 0)), (setq pt (cdr (assoc 10 (entget ent)))) (command "point" pt))
wich this code you select one block and insert one point at insert point´s block.
which this other code yo select all block and insert all point.... but in one block
(vl-load-com) (defun c:pmb11 ( / sele cod bloque nbloque lista pt ) (prompt "
block: ") (setq sele (ssget ( List'(0 . "INSERT"))) Cod 0 )cod (1+ cod) (repeat (sslength sele) (setq bloque (ssname sele cod)) (setq pt (cdr (assoc 10 ( entget bloque)))) (command "punto" pt) );repeat )

trying to insert point instead of block.
(setq blok (entget (car (entsel))))
(setq point (cdr (assoc 10 blok)))
(setq XX (rtos (car point) 2 20)) ;; x koordinata bloka
(setq YY (rtos (cadr point) 2 20)) ;; y koordinata bloka
(setq ZZ (rtos (caddr point) 2 20)) ;; z koordinata bloka
(command "point" xx,yy,zz) is not working
!xx="5582453.414999999" but when i (atoi xx) i get 5582453 no dedimals...
how to create valid insertation point from xx, yy and zz?

I know you can add a connection grip point to newly created sketch symbols, but how do you add it to the existing Rev Block from Inventor right out of the box? You can't edit the definition of the Rev Block, I'm stumped. I need to do this so my Rev Block is attached to the titleblock top right corner so when changing border sizes, it follows the top right corner.

I need to replace a large number (3700) of blocks with points, and cannot find a command for that operation. I have found a lisp for converting circles to points.
Have I just not found the command, or am I a bad googler? Unfortenately I cannot handle pure code (yet), so I need a lisp file (or the command).

here is my jig rotate code
Protected Overrides Function Sampler(ByVal prompts As JigPrompts) As SamplerStatus Dim myPPR As PromptPointResult myPPR = prompts.AcquirePoint(myOpts) Dim curPos As Point3d curPos = myPPR.Value If curPos.IsEqualTo(BasePt) Then Return SamplerStatus.NoChange Else myMatrix = Geometry.Matrix3d.Displacement( _ BasePt.GetVectorTo(myPPR.Value)) Dim pt1 As New Point2d(BasePt.X, BasePt.Y) Dim pt2 As New Point2d(myPPR.Value.X, myPPR.Value.Y) BaseRo = pt1.GetVectorTo(pt2).Angle End If Return SamplerStatus.OK End If End Function Protected Overrides Function Update() As Boolean myBRef.Rotation = BaseRo Return False End Function
I always rotate the block with bottom left point as fixed point. What can I do to make the block rotate around another point? such as centre point of the block?

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?

I create a set of points in a drawing and create each point as a block reference containing the point, text and probably something else. Also I would like to use different symbols for points and each of the symbols is defined as a block definition, and for each point I create a block reference according to the symbol type. The question is if is there any way to "combine" block definitions/references? I mean, I have common block definition for all points, whis defines somethin common for all of them. Also I have different symbols for each type of points and each symbol is defined separately as a block. But when a final point is created (containing common definitions and type-dependent symbol) I want to have it as a single block.

How to capture the real point of a line within a block?
I used the following method to captured some entities from a block.
I need the point of the entities, to redesign a dimension.
But if I move the original block, and then run my program. The dimension is redesigned in the original location of the block.
Basically the code looks like this:
private void FilterDimension() { TypedValue[] typedValue = new TypedValue[2]; typedValue.SetValue(new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Start, "INSERT"), 0); typedValue.SetValue(new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.LayerName, "Dimension"),
[Code].....

I create a block where coordinate 0,0 is my base/insertion point (which is established in an orientation that is to the lower-left of my blocks line work). In a new drawing I insert that block and specify coordinate 0,0 as my insert point. Instead of my insertion point being in the lower left it is in the upper right. I run into this in new version and old version drawings.

How do you get a point marker that uses a block with attributes to show the attributed text?
We are using tree symbols that have the size of the tree as an attribute, but when the points that use that block come in...the block shows up w/out any attributed text. Tried to edit the "block" or point marker with attedit command, but C3D tells me it is not a block. Understand that it is a "marker" for the point. But, what is stopping the text size of tree from showing up?

A way to automatically output a point into a table. For instance having a table searching for a specific block reference or point inside a block or external reference and submitting this into a table with x,y coordinates?
I make a lot of civil drawings and sometime i need to list up relevant coordinates. In stead of manually plotting these in a table i would like to list them up automatically.

know a lisp routine that would insert a block @ a specific point on an arc? For instance if I have an arc that has a radius of 20'-0" & I want to insert a block at a set distance from the end of the arc.i could probably use the divide or measure command but I was hoping I could do it with lisp. I would also like to be able to move the object along the path of the arc at a specific distance.

I know it can be done but have had little luck finding how. I need to Convert GIS features to an engineering friendly cad file and I'm stumped at the point of assigning blocks to the points.
Also another issue is that I would often need to assign those blocks based on field values. Noob questions I know but it's my one critical step I've not sorted out.

In previous versions of AutoCad I would just double click on a block do my changes click the save changes button and then a save dialogue would come up with an option to change the insert point. Did this option go away in 2013 AutoCAD? I do not get this option anymore after I finish editing a block? This is very useful. Why would this go away?
