I am trying to insert a block onto model space but after I click "insert" the selected block appears on the page, mis-aligned from the grid pointer meaning I can't get the block to snap to the location i need. (I am attempting to draw a circuit diagram).

I'm using Qcad professional as a student and am totally new to it so don't know if I'm missing something obvious. I've attached a picture of the block I've inserted and where it appears in comparison to the yellow pointer.

Hi,
Please edit the block itself and verify if the origin = base point vs the content make sense. :wink:
  • Several ways: 8)
    Select it in the Block List and tick the pencil icon.
    Double click it in the Block List.
    Optional double click the Block reference.
    With the menu bar.
    ...
Without the Block List visual type 'GB' :wink:

BTW: You posted on the free CE version forum ... As PRO user, one may use the PRO forum
