How to get the insertion point of a nested block, the easy way?
« on: October 13, 2005, 10:23:44 AM »
The block can be in any deep form, rotated, scaled, etc, and with a simple selection obtain the insertion point.

- No osnap features.
- No matrix transformation calculations

About 30 seconds...pretty easy to me  8-)

Code: [Select]
((lambda (/ ent)
   (setq ent (entsel))
   (if ent
     (princ (cdr (assoc 10 (entget (car ent)))))
   )
 )
)

Code: [Select]

Don't have time to write a proper wrapper for this (i.e. ucs active etc.) but if you select a nested block with the wcs active this should work:

(last (caddr (nentsel)))

They don't have to be necessarily hard Luis, just fun. Now if they're a little challenging there's nothing wrong with that either ...
