Block Insertion

[Frank Dux]

Whenever I drag a block from Windows Explorer into the drawing I would really prefer not to specify the scale or rotation angle, just the insertion point. I've been trying to modify the CUI so that whatever command is called during this action (I know it is "_-insert" but I can't find this in the CUI) I can change the associated macro to something like "_-insert \1 \1;;;" but haven't had any luck yet. Thanks for any suggestions.

that's not a CUI option -- it's behavior that's hardwired into the program and AFAIK - not end-user changeable.

That's what I was afraid of. I thought it worth pursuing because I definitely remember plopping blocks into my drawings at my previous job without specifying scale/rotation angle. Because of this I thought there might be some setting.

Tool palette maybe? that can predefine scale etc.

or Design Center? command is ADC

You would create a new command for each item you want to insert and then use a macro like
^C^Cinsert;"C:/DWG/LIB/8-BF";\1;1;0;
