I'm aware there are various issues with symbols (and other containers) and internal origins and so on. But I'd like to know if the following is something that's not working properly, or the error is mine.
I thought that if I
(a) create a symbol
(b) leave the original instance in place
(b) specify the insertion point of that symbol as the drawing origin 0,0,0
Then
(a) that instance of the symbol should have its internal origin in the same location as the drawing origin.
(b) therefore copying something from outside of the symbol container, then doing a paste-in-place within the symbol, should result in that object staying in the same location
Is all of that correct? Because sometimes the paste-in-place ends up with the object somewhere else, and I can't work out why.
