WCS Block mistake

[mbrandt5]

I've created a block that would take possible dozens of hours to recreate...I created it with the WCS having West at the top...

Therefore the dimensions are at facing the wrong direction...

With out changing the dimension to 180 degrees how can I have the dimensions facing the right direction without recreating the block or recreating?

Is there a way that I can reset the WCS within the block to make north at the top of block?

Example block included...

Why not just rotate it 90° in the block editor?

[mbrandt5]

Because its dynamic and parameters lose there selection sets upon rotation unfortunately

Try inserting the block to 0,0,0 rotate your UCS to the desired orientation then WBLOCK the block out by picking the block rather than selecting it in the dialog box.

The example posted is not dynamic. Post the actual block.

[mbrandt5]

Not comfortable posting the block sorry...I can make this one dynamic if you'd like ;)

[mbrandt5]

not quite sure what you mean

[libbybapa]

Because its dynamic and parameters lose there selection sets upon rotation unfortunately

That is not correct. Rotating a parameter within a block does not affect the parameter's selection set.

[mbrandt5]

rotating the objects from the originally selection set of two (x.y) coordinates and their parameters does

[mbrandt5]

Stretch Frames don't rotate with parameters and objects

Nope.

Correct.

[mbrandt5]

So therefore a simple rotation will skew the original stretches as far as I'm aware....

If you can't explain with my block, would you be willing to share a link to a source that would explain it to me?

[libbybapa]

Nope.

See my response in your similar thread in the dynamic blocks technical forum.
