Default Block Insert Options?

garrisonaw — Sat, 21 Nov 2020 01:43:17 GMT

I found a couple similar questions from years ago (one was from 2001), but neither of them was adequately answered. So I'm going to throw this out there once again.

In the BLOCKSPALETTE dialogue (formerly the INSERT dialogue), there are options for how a block is inserted. The "Insertion Point" option is checked by default, but every time I open a drawing (or start a new one), all the other options are unchecked. Once I check an option, it stays that way for the duration of my session (or until I uncheck it), but I can't figure out how to make it the default setting.

Is there a way to make it so that the "Rotation" option (or any of the other options, for that matter) is checked by default when AutoCAD starts?

Hi,

i am not in front of Acad to test it, but if i remember well,

In 2021.1 id keep the last setting, except the explode option.

Are you running AutoCAD Productversion 2021.1 or the old not updated 2020.0?

(Check out the ABOUT dialog).

That's correct, you remember well.

Hi,

Since Jürgen agrees with me, the problem was probably only resolved in 2021.1,
you have version 2021.0, the update 2021.1 is missing.

Go to your Autodesk account and download the Autocad update 2021.1 using the BrowserDownload method and install it.

Except the Explode option (reset to disable) Acad will remember your last settings.
