Adding a Base Point Element

Use the CBElement command with the Base option to define one base point for the CustomBlock reference relative to the CustomBlock geometry.

Note: A CustomBlock definition can contain only one base point element.

You cannot associate activities to a base point element. However, you can include the base point in the selection set of an activity. For example, you can include the base point in the selection set of a move activity to specify that the base point should follow the move activity.

To add a base point element:

  1. Type CBElement at the command prompt.
  2. Specify the Base option.
  3. In the graphics area, specify the element position in the CustomBlock definition. The position of the base point element in the CustomBlock definition is the grip point position in the Block reference.
