BASE command value ?

Is there a way to read and use the BASE command value? I'd like to
use it to move items to 0,0,0 before redefining the BASE value to
0,0,0..

these blocks were written out of a large drawing and I'd like each
file to be set with a common point at 0,0,0.

Thanks,

Chris

 

I believe it's the INSBASE system variable.

Thank you.

Any idea as to how I could read that value in LISP or in a script and
use it to move something?

thanks you again.

 

I think so.

here's what I need to do:

process about 3000 drawing files.

read the INBASE value, move everything in the drawing file to 0,0,0.

basepoint of move being the INBASE value.

ex:

MOVE
select objects: ALL

Specify base point or displacement: (use the INBASE value here, ex: 1500,500,0)

Specify second point of displacement or
<use first point as displacement>: 0,0,0

can this be done in a script?

Thank you very much,

Chris

 

Thanks Paul...

How could I read the INBASE value in a script for the following:


Specify base point or displacement: (use the INBASE value here, ex: 1500,500,0)


Thanks again
