Troubles with base point on dynamics blocks

Anonymous
Not applicable

I've created a dynamic block with two point parameters (Position 1 and Position 2) wich are at the beginning and the end of the block. What i want to do is to get the cordinates of them by extracting to an excel file, but when i use the move comand on the block the base point moves too, so the coordinates of the two points parameters don't change.

Is there anyway for locking the base point or something like that.

 

Here is the block.

I do not know of any way to prevent a user from using the MOVE command on a block.

 

As an alternative, you replace one of the point parameters with the basepoint itself.  With that done, you could extract the block basepoint as one of the values and then extract the block X,Y coordinate values of the second point and ADD the basepoint X,Y coordinate values in order to find the model space X,Y coordinate values of the second point.

Awesome! I'd never have think something like that. Thank you for supporting me.
