dyn co-ord block and xref...

[cadmatt]

Hello everyone,

 

Haven't been on here in ages - coming back into the CAD fold again.

Encountered a problem that I 'think' I've solved before but can't for the life of me work out 'how..

I have Dynamic block called say COORDwith Three attributes defined

1. Title

2. X Value

3. Y Value

1 is a text based attribute, 2&3 get the insertion point of the block and display.

Works fine no bother..

But.. If i wblock all the COORDS and then xref back in - they all display the insertion point of the xref i.e 0,0.

Has anyone any ideas how to solve this?

 

Thanks

 

Matt

I think it's the fields limitation. It only work for WCS. Even in same drawing, you can't label points using UCS.

You can try using a simple LISP to label your coordinate. It works better than using fields.

Cheers Edwin,

 

I would have written a lisp but only on LT at this new employ. Really Frustrating!

I thought maybe there was a way to 'lock' the co-ords to the current drgs wcs, makes no sense really because the co-ordinate is a relative value from 0,0,0 and shouldn't change?

think I've cracked it by turning the field value into a formula opposed to a object val, going to tryu it now - will let you know if i have any great success!
