Bring a Xref in at 0,0,0 from a Tool Palette

[martyk]

I have a tool on my palette which attaches via xreference, a titleblock. Is there a way to have the titleblock entered at coordinates 0,0? Right now, I need to place it myself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

i don't think so - as it is not in the tool's property box

Look at creating your own custom Tool Palette command ( using a Command Macro or AutoLISP ).

The following threads should give you a few ideas ( if needed )...

Plus, a simple command macro could look something like the following...


Command string: ^C^C_.-Xref;_Overlay;DriveLetterHere:/DirectoryPathHere/DWGNameHere.dwg;_Scale;1;_Rotate;0;0,0,0;Have a good one, Mike
