The blocks will be exploded and editable. If desired, you can draw a window to select multiple blocks. Select the block or blocks you'd like to explode. If you want to edit the blocks, you can then explode them: Type EXPLODE in the Command line. Confirm that all blocks you've inserted are in the correct locations. Method #2 involves using the CAD WBLOCK ( Write Block) command. This method also creates a digital trail for copied items, which you may prefer. You'll only need to use this method if your copying Clipboard is not available – for example, when you need to copy blocks across machines or offices. Click a location in your drawing to place the blocks. The Command line will prompt you to Specify insertion point. To paste the blocks, press CTRL + V (Windows keyboard) or Command + V (Mac keyboard). You can also draw a window encompassing several objects. The Command line will prompt you to Select objects. To copy one or more blocks, press CTRL + C (Windows keyboard) or Command + C (Mac keyboard). (You can also use these commands for copying and pasting plants and labels within a single drawing, although our XCOPY and XCORO tools are much more useful.) The quickest and easiest way to copy and paste blocks between drawings is to use the standard copy and paste keyboard commands. If you use XCOPY or XCORO on plants and labels separately, they will lose their associations. Important: When using XCOPY or XCORO to copy plants and labels, use each tool on both the plant and its associated label at the same time. If you need to rotate the copied labels, use XCORO. XCOPY runs the copy portion of the AutoCAD Move, Copy, Rotate ( MOCORO) command, while XCORO runs the copy and rotate portions of the same command. Our XCOPY and XCORO tools provide the best methods for copying plants and labels within the same drawing.
It seems the insertion point of the block wants to be nowhere near where the geometry? It's tremendously obnoxious if you want the block you create through FLATSHOT to be close to the geometry in model space.Power Tip: XCOPY and XCORO for Repetitive Design Once you finally figure that out, you left-click to place it, then scale and rotate it as with a normal block insertion.Ħ. So, you have to zoom way out to see where it actually is to be able to locate it where you want.ĥ. (As a corollary, I'd really like to know why this would ever happen).Ĥ. It doesn't appear AT the crosshair, it's somewhere else relative to it. A block appears in a weird location at some seemingly arbitrary distance from the crosshair. In this instance I guess it's fine to just consider blocks created through the FLATSHOT command.Įxploding a block, or using a block editor, would not work, because in my example the block hasn't been placed yet.ģ.
I don't understand how what's happening now would ever be useful.Īnyway, am I just missing some obvious system variable, or something? In my mind, either a block is always inserted at the origin (or another specified point), or it's inserted at the crosshair. I don't get why this would ever be the case. So, if my geometry is far enough away from the origin, I have to zoom way out after creating the block just to be able to see where it is and be able to locate it with a final left click. It's not AT the origin, it's at a certain distance away from the crosshair. how do I explain this? It's the same distance from the crosshairs as the origin was when the block was created. The resulting block always has an insertion point of. So, I orient the camera, and use the FLATSHOT command. Say I have some geometry that I want a 2D block of. Sorry if I'm missing a thread and this is a duplicate.
I'm going to sound dumb here, but I can't figure this one out using the normal Googly avenues.
