They show you how the window will be positioned if the rotation
stays at 90º. The window fits nicely into the wall here.
12. With the tracking line and tooltip visible, click.
The A-GLAZ block appears in the left wall. The INSERT Block com-
mand ends (see the right of Figure 7.32).
FiGuRE 7.32 Selecting the stove's midpoint as the insertion point (left), rotating the
A-GLAZ block 90° (middle), and the final position (right)
using Snap tracking to Set the insertion Point
The window over the sink is centered on the sink, but the sink line doesn't overlap
the wall as did the stove line. You'll use the same snap tracking procedure that
you used in Chapter 5, “Developing Drawing Strategies: Part 2,” to set the window
block's insertion point without the need to draw extraneous geometry. Refer to
Figure 7.29, shown earlier, as a reference as you follow the procedure here:
1. Use the Pan and Zoom tools to get a better view of the top wall of the
cabin.
You want to create one 3 -0 (915 mm) window, centered over the
sink. Be sure the Endpoint and Midpoint osnaps are running, and
turn off the Perpendicular osnap.
2. Start the INSERT command. Ensure that A-GLAZ is in the Name
drop-down list, and check that all Specify On-Screen check boxes are
marked. Click OK.
