Change x-ref files base point to WCS (0,0,0) all at once

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know where i can get a lisp routine on how to change xref files base point to WCS (0,0,0) all at once? Your help is highly appreciated.

Any further data regarding this? Do you want to move the entities inside the XRef relative to a common point, or do you want to move the block insert (which is the attached / overlaid xref) such that its insertion point is at 0,0,0?

If the 1st, it's not a trivial thing, if the 2nd you can easily do this using Properties Palette.

Thanks for the response!
Well, I have this drawing with 5 attached files. 4 reference files were attached using the UCS and 1 file using the WCS with insertion point at 0,0,0. Now I have to different insertion points and I want to set the basepoints of these 4 files to WCS 0,0,0 without altering their location in the drawing.

That would mean altering the external drawings themselves, which is a poor idea, especially if those drawings are done by others or are referenced in other files.

Face it, you are going to need to move the XRefs to WCS 0,0,0 and fix your own objects in the host drawing, not the other way around.

I guess i have no choice. I will try using the record command to speed up the job. I dont know if its possible in editing reference files but I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the reply guys!
