Re: Insertion point library parts
Hi,
when you create a Block / Library Item QCAD will ask you for a Reference Point for this item. Now is the moment to choose a Reference Point which will work best for you. For the best accuracy use the QCAD Snap tools to determine the Reference Point.
When you later insert this item it will be hooked to the Mouse Pointer at this reference point. During the inserting process you have the options to flip, scale, rotate etc. the item BUT you can't change the actual Reference Point.
In the case that the Reference Point is not working for you at all then you can change it with a right mouse click on the item in your Library Browser - choose Edit.
The Reference Point is located at Absolute Zero (the Red cross). Just move the item and make sure that your new reference point match the red cross.
Save it to the Library and you are ready to go.
