I have a user who wants the insertion point of an image to be the Top-Centre of the image. I'd never heard of such a request. For a block, it's easy. For an image, I just told him to turn the frame on and move it using the midpoint of the top frame to its destination... meh...
Just thought I'd ask.

Make a block out of it.

That's what I told him.
He was hoping that there was a default setting that you could change from bottom-left to top-centre.

What you should have told him:
Command: move
1 found
Specify base point or [Displacement] <Displacement>: _m2p First point of mid:
_int of Second point of mid: _int of
Specify second point or <use first point as displacement>:
The _Intersections being selected in the command sequence above are the corners of the image in question.
Then have a nice day!

Snap to the midpoint of the top of the image.

I told him an even easier way. :)
turn the frame on (IFRAME) and move it using the midpoint of the top frame to its destination...

the actual 'lesson' therein is that one may use parts of the Image Frame to locate the image using normal object snap modes

Just leave the imageframe variable set at 2.

Make a block out of it.
Make a dynamic block out of it with MULTIPLE insertion points.
For when he changes his mind later on. :)

there is no need to make a block out of it from where I'm typing

He wasn't talking about one specific image... just ... any image.

I think you'd be better off slapping him across the back of the head and showing him all the options OSnaps offers.

Pretty much...

I think this is exactly what I said; in a rare moment of being kinder and gentler.
