Change OLE object insertion point

Brock_Olly — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 13:00:44 GMT

Hey all,

I frequently copy and paste OLE tables from excel to autocad.
Is there a way to change its insertion point to the top right? I always need it to be top right.

This works perfectly, thanks Dean and Kent of course 🙂

Changed the insertion point to top-right, updated code:

(vl-load-com) ; if necessary (defun C:PCULC ; = PasteClip by Upper Left Corner (/ minpt maxpt) (command "_.pasteclip" (getvar 'viewctr)) (vla-getboundingbox (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast)) 'minpt 'maxpt) (command "_.move" "_last" "" "_none" (list (car (vlax-safearray->list maxpt)) (cadr (vlax-safearray->list maxpt))) ); command ); defun
