create a named group with_base_point and able to recall these group name (similar to block)

hi.. i need a help for a lisp for a more advance 'group' function with 2 available command

description:

1 command to create group: when run lisp, prompt to 'select object', next prompt to select 'base point', then prompt to 'name group'.

2 command to recall name group object.

when i execute the 2nd command (recall group) 

it shall prompt for 'group name to be recalled' 

and i can place the object using the base point.

the lisp function mostly works like 'copy with base point cmd'.

just that it can be use with any previously name group..

the name group 'cache' shall be destroy when i close/exit autocad.

it dont get 'save/store' like block

 

thanks

The GROUP command is very limited. There isn't an option to specify a base point. Even if there is, there isn't an option to object snap to this point. Is there a reason why you don't just use BLOCK INSERTs? You can use the BLOCK command to create a BLOCK with base point and then use either CLASSICINSERT (Dialog) or INSERT (Palette) to "recall" the BLOCK.
