Auto Hybrid - Forget Origin

[Kevin McAllister]

Its maddening that the auto-hybrid remembers where it was created. I would like an option for it to forget. And frankly, in the big picture, the auto-hybrid needs to be combined with the symbol into one comprehensive PIO.

All it takes is one experience editing an instance where the auto hybrid and the symbol both have different origins to realize how messy this all is. Add on a mirrored object or a solid addition and it crosses into the absurd.

That was my first comment about this auto hybrid. It should not have been a different object, but just be incorporated into the symbol, because you would have so much more out of it, being able to have it inserted into a wall, being able to search it in worksheets, ... VW has too many different things and too many ways to do stuff, it should be more uniform and a lot of object should become one to simplify....

And yes, the position and origin is a mess, especially when you copy-paste it to other layers.

I also think that auto hybrid needs more development because they behave weird in some cases. But I don?t agree that they should became part of the symbol tool. Although symbols and auto hybrid both have 2D and 3D representations, the logic of a symbol is to be repeated, that does not necessarily apply for any auto hybrid you build (of course in that case you can create a symbol out of a auto hybrid).

But anyway, the problem that I have found is precisely that they don't remember the place were they were created (After a "paste in place" of it outside of the autohybrid what you get is the object located in the origin of the whole drawing, 0,0,0 cordenates).

I would prefer if the auto hybrid remembers the place where it is actually located what is not happening.
