Modifying the Base Point of a Block Definition
Use the EditBasePoint command to set a new insertion base point for a Block definition.
You must first use the EditComponent command to enter Component editing mode to use this command.
To modify the base point of a Block definition or Reference:
- Click Modify > Component > Edit (or type EditComponent at the command prompt) to start in-place editing of Blocks.
- In the Edit Component dialog box, select the Block to modify and click OK.
Note: You cannot modify the base point of a Block nested in a referenced drawing. - Click Modify > Component > Edit Base Point (or type EditBasePoint at the command prompt).
A rubberband displays between the current base point of the Block and the pointer. - Specify the new base point.
Click Modify > Component > Save and Close (or typeSaveComponent) to accept the change and complete the in-place editing of the Block definition.
Use CloseComponent instead of SaveComponent to specify whether you want to save or discard the changes of a Component editing session.
