Wrong Insertion Point...

Hi !!
I use A2K2.
I'm having trouble with a couple of lisp routines (attached).
I didn't write them, I'm just trying to debug them.
The first routine BLKEDIT allows you to choose a block to edit. Attached is a drawing with the block I want to modify - change all colours to bylayer - say.
So I edit the block, then use BLKDONE to reassemble the block. The problem is that the insertion point of the redefined block is wrong !!
I've tried REFEDIT, but am not fussed by it.
Any help would be appreciated !!
Thanks in advance,

M@

Hey, this is strange!

It all looks okay till (command "-block" bn "y"
inspt parts ""). Your inspt is is correct here but when you do (command
"-insert" bn inspt xs ys ra) the insertionpoint of  the block is
wrong.

I don't have time enough rigth now, but i can look
into it later or anybody else knows the problem.

Yes, but then is the scale of the block
incorrect.

It also goes wrong if you manually explode the
block and do -block ..., if you insert it, it has the same wrong insertionpoint
as in the routine. Maybe it's a problem in the drawing or a
setting?

I think that it has something to do with a non-zero
object coordinate system in that block.  Try a nested entity copy routine
like that in Express tools and you'll see displacement as well.

Thanks for all your input !!
I'm still troubled by this.
The code is so simple (could be simpler, no doubt),
that it should be obvious what the problem is.
I changed INSBASE on the drawing to 0,0,0 - and this didn't help.
I inserted the block at 0,0,0 x,y,z scale at 1, put ucs at WORLD, performed the blkedit, blkdone and still got the wrong insertion point, though a different one than previously.
It seems to be only this block that produces the error also.
Uurrghhhhhhh !!
Can anybody else spread any light on this ??

Thanks,
M@

(I did a wblock) and

I noticed that the "base" of the block drawing was at
0.5,0.5

 

Are your other blocks also like this?

I think there is something wrong in the block
definition of block "wcolumn" in your drawing. After I inserted the block to 0,0
, scalefactor 1, created a wblock, inserted in a new drawing, scale 250
rotationangle 90, blkedit and blkdone worked OK.

The block is just an 'isolated incident' from a structural design output.
I just wanted to find out why it behaves differently and whether the program
can be changed to cater for such an occurrance.
Without any research, I'm guessing the tblsearch will bring this info up ??
Easy enough from there I guess !!

Thanks for your help everyone !!

Regards,
