Summary


Details

When a block is imported from Autocad, the default origin is 0,0.  When this origin is far from the graphic range, it may lead to a location problem when doing a fence select with the mouse.

Solution

Since ST10 MP8, with the "Modify Block Origins on import" parameter set to 1 in the SEACAD.ini, Solid Edge recalculates the range of the geometry and redefines the block origin to be in the left bottom corner of the graphic range. 

This way the block origin is never out of the graphic range of the block.
