I am having problems of inserting a few templates from my folders to a drawing.  When i try to insert it into a layout i do all the usual click block, browse, pick the template the only point ticked is the insertion box, i.e specify on screen and click ok. Then in on screen and command line it reads, specify insertion point or (Baasepiont/Scale/x/y/z/Rotate): But i do not know what to do from here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks to all.

-1- You have not drawn your title block file beginning at the point 0,0 so that you don't have it "at the end of your mouse" when you insert it.

Open the title block file and move all the object to the point 0,0 ( generally the right lower point ).

-2- Even this doesn't works.

Open your DWT or a good recent file ( do a "save as" with it ) and copy/paste your tittle block inside it.

Move all the object to the point 0,0,erase all the unwanted objects and paper spaces + presentations, purge the file and it will work.

 

We have left lower points for format insertions so that we insert them at 0,0 and use the same plot configurations for all drawings.

But I think that it can be different for other companies.

I'm a "basic AutoCAD user" and I'm allways giving "basic advices" in the beginning of a discussion so that it will not overflow the person asking a question that I think to be basic.

I will try your settings.

In the company where I work we have AutoCAD company settings and we use the dwt with lines, dimensions, formats, title blocks, blocks, etc... of the company.

Thanks again for all.

I'm using inserting, copy/paste or the AutoCAD design center with everyting and there is really no problems with the insertion points of blocks ( when drawn with a good 0,0 ).
