Changing BlockReference coordinate system from UCS to WCS

[rberghLJ4SA]

Hi Guys,

I have a BlockReference object when I look at the object data the BlockTransform.CoordinateSystem is a ucs that was active when the block was placed. 

Can I change the BlockReference object's Coordinate system to WCS and if it's possible how would I go about it.

Regards

Hi,

The BlockReference.BlockTransform matrix does not exactly match with the one of the active UCS  during the block reference insertion because it does not take in account of this UCS origin.

Anyway, you can try to transform the block reference with the inverse matrix of the one returned by BlockReference.BlockTransform and change its position as you need.

br.TransformBy(br.BlockTransform.Inverse());

Thanks I'll give it a try
