Topic: Strange behavior of block insertion

[Giuseppe Beatrice]

I noticed a strange behavior of a vlisp instruction.
I wrote a set of instructions for inserting blocks into the paper space of a layout, visualized by it's extension:
....
(command-s "_-insert" bl$ "_sc" scbl# ptbl 0)
....
I had previously set the 'OSMODE system variable to 0 or 16384, but in some cases the insertion point of the block moved to the nearby line or block.
The only method I have come up with is to first launch a zoom command, narrowed at the insertion point or at a far point, with a factor of 30 or less.
Does anyone know the reason for such behavior?

Yes, somewhere in Options you control scripted insertions, I have no AutoCAD at the moment but I'll look up later.
It also has a variable so you can avoid it by setting this at the top of your lisp.

I would suggest using:

Code: [Select]

(command-s "_.-insert" bl$ "_S" scbl# "_R" 0.0 "_non" ptbl)

Prova così (non serve disattivare OSMODE):

Code: [Select]

(command-s "_-insert" bl$ "_sc" scbl# "_NONE" ptbl 0)

Lee was faster (as always)...

It is the variable OSNAPCOORD which is default 2 (Keyboard entry except scripts), but if you set it to 1 (keyboard entry) you can import blocks without accidental object snaps.

You'll find this also in the Options dialog, tab User Preferences, part Priority for Coordinate Data Entry.

Thanks to all of you for the valuable informations.
Marc'Antonio, your command is less fast than Lee-Mac, but the difference is really very small.
You all are always the best, thank you again.

...intendevo che Lee più stato più veloce a risponderti... (

I meant Lee was quicker to answer you)
