Drag and drop to original coordinates

[kristof_b1]

Hello,

When opening a .Dwg drawing then Ctlr A and just copy paste it,

i can paste it to original coordinates into another drawing, 

But is there a possibility that i can just drag and drop a .Dwg file into autocad and place it on the original coordinates? 

i know i can use the other drawing as a Xref but i need to have the induvidual lines from the drawing and not as a block. 

Thanks in advance

Kristof

That depends on the insertion base point of the drawing you're dragging in.  Let's say that's at the default 0,0: when you drag-and-drop a drawing into another, you are asked for an insertion point, and if you give it 0,0, everything ends up in the original locations.  [But yes, it then needs to be Exploded, which at least is simpler than XREFing it and then Binding.]  If the drawing you're dragging in has had its insertion base point [read about the INSBASE System Variable, and the BASE command] changed to something other than 0,0, you would need to know what that is to get it to land at the same place in the target drawing.

There's a way in the INSERT command to bring something in pre-Exploded, but I don't know of a way to apply that in a drag-and-drop operation.
