Blocks are used extensively in landscape CAD drawings. A block is a collection of entities combined to form a single entity. Using blocks saves much space in the drawing database.<\/p>\n
Each block in gCADPlus will have a defined base point and, when making a block, that point should be placed at a convenient position – in the center of a plant symbol, at the edge of a paver, etc. Occasionally, you may need to change the position of the base point. Here we provide advice on how to do just that.<\/p>\n
To change the base point of a block in gCADPlus, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n
1. Select the block that you want to edit.<\/p>\n
2. Right-click on the block and choose “Edit” from the context menu.<\/p>\n
3. This will enable you to move the entities that constitute the block (sometimes referred to as a group) to a new base point.<\/p>\n
4. Make sure that grips are turned on to see and manipulate the entities.<\/p>\n
5. Additionally, tick the option in the blocks dialog box to show the base point for effective use of this technique.<\/p>\n
Tip: Please note that there is no specific command to directly change the base point of a block in gCADPlus. Instead, you need to edit the block and move the entities as a group to the desired base point in the block editor “<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blocks are used extensively in landscape CAD drawings.
