    Default Pick to Rotate at Insertion point

    I am trying to find lisp routine that would rotate the block back to its original position at insertion. The only thing that you would do is to select the object and it would rotate back to the original position at insertion. This way you will have to guess what degrees you need to rotate it back.

    How is this lisp file going to know the original rotation angle?

    It would reference the block that is loaded in the file already.

    Exclamation Re: Pick to Rotate at Insertion point

    A BLOCK (definition) does not have a rotation angle.
    An INSERT (insertion of a block definition) does have a rotation angle. If that is what you mean, then which INSERT do you want to use for reference?

    Or, do you just want to set the rotation of all the inserts back to 0.0?

    Ok. So couldn't you just use QSELECT to select the inserts and then change the rotation to 0.0

    -or-

    was that the whole point of your post, you want a quicker way?
