Modifying the Base Point of a Block

Use the RedefineBasePoint command to set a new insertion base point for all instances of a Block.

Another way to modify the base point of a Block is using the EditBasePoint command in Component editing mode.

Note: For nested Blocks, you can modify only the base point of the parent Block.

To modify the base point of a block:

1. In the graphics area, select a Block instance.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Right-click and click Redefine Block Base Point.
   • Type RedefineBasePoint.

   Rubberband appears between the current base point of the Block and the pointer.

3. Specify the new base point.

   All Block instances in the drawing are updated.
