block insert

The following code creates ablock and inserts it at a user selected location. Can anyone revise the code for me so that the block is inserted at athe selected point but allows for the user to select a rotation angle by picking a second point.
I am new to vba and am struggling to get it to work

Hi John,

The general code to select a point is:

Dim Pt(0 to 2) as Double
Dim PtSel(0 to 2) as Double
Dim dAngle as Double
Pt(0) = something created previously
Pt(1) = something created previously

Dim vPt As Variant
vPt = ThisDrawing.Utility.GetPoint(Pt, "Select point to define rotation
angle")

' You will see a rubber band from Pt to the cursor location.

' Set values of a point from the returned variant
PtSel(0) = vPt(0)
PtSel(1) = vPt(1)

' You can then use:
dAngle = ThisDrawing.Utility.AngleFromXAxis(Pt, PtSel)

' and dAngle will be the angle to insert the block. You will need to define
the block with its main axis along the X axis, otherwise you will need to
adjust the dAngle variable to suit.
