BlockReference.setPosition() does not change the position of attributes

[gswifort]

When setting the position and scale of a block reference, the corresponding attribute parameters don't change. Is this normal? Do I have to go through all the attributes and do it manually?

from pyrx import Db, Ge, command
from pyrx.ed.prompt import entsel


@command
def doit2():
    bref_id = entsel("\nSelect a block reference: ")
    set_pos(bref_id)


def set_pos(obj_id: Db.ObjectId):
    bref = Db.BlockReference(obj_id, Db.OpenMode.kForWrite)
    bref.setPosition(Ge.Point3d(100.0, 100.0, 0.0))
    bref.recordGraphicsModified()

seems so, or use transformBy

def set_ref_pos(obj_id: Db.ObjectId, pnt: Ge.Point3d):
    bref = Db.BlockReference(obj_id, Db.OpenMode.kForWrite)
    bref.transformBy(Ge.Matrix3d.translation(pnt - bref.position()))

I do it like this:

cur_block_transform = bref.blockTransform()
bref.setPosition(...)
bref.setRotation(...)
bref.setScaleFactors(...)
new_block_transform = bref.blockTransform()
diff_transform = new_block_transform * cur_block_transform.inverse()
for attr in (
    Db.AttributeReference(attr, Db.OpenMode.kForWrite) 
    for attr in self.bref.attributeIds()
):
    attr.transformBy(diff_transform)

I only have a problem with attributes that are aligned to the center, after transformation they are aligned to the attribute insertion point, only after moving they update correctly

[CEXT-Dan]

how about with set_ref_pos ?

[gswifort]

Yes, I think it works much better, I'll check it on a more complex example

Move command in CAD is just transformby, if you’re using a jig, you can create three jigs, or one jig with three options for all entities

transformby scale
transformby rotation 
transformby translation
