Pasteclip insertion points with a 0 occassionally being a 6 instead.

LBourkePFTRD — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 10:58:49 GMT

I have custom buttons using the following macro's:

Copy Base Point 0,0

^C^C_copybase 0,0;

Paste from 0,0

^C^C_pasteclip 0,0;

These are to allow me to simple click a block on drawing, go to another drawing and paste with the same reference. I can see in the command line that the macro's are entering the correct information but the block can any of the following position properties:

Correct

Position X 0.0

Position Y 0.0

Position Z 0.0

The following are incorrect:

Position X -6

Position Y -6

Position Z 0.0

Position X 6

Position Y 0

Position Z 0.0

Position X 0

Position Y 6

Position Z 0.0

Position X -6

Position Y 0

Position Z 0.0

I believe it does get effected by the position of my current view. i typically zoom extents but even then it can cause the issue to occur.

Further information, it seems to be copying from the border block (red lines in pictures) as the borders corner is 6,6.

Could be your OSNAPCOORD system variable. Set it to 1 and see if that sorts it out.

It sounds like you have some running Object Snap mode(s) in effect. If you turn OFF running Osnap [F3 key], does it work right?

OR, use ordinary COPYCLIP [Ctr+C] in the source and the PASTEORIG command in the target drawing -- it appears to be unaffected by running Osnap.

Thank you for this, i wasn't aware of this system variable.

This has worked for me.

Happy to help.

Not knowing about that sysvar and how it effects points had caused a headache or three.
