      When I create a component via .add_group and then .to_component, the component axes are set to the lower left extremities. Meanwhile, making a component via the Edit menu, I can specify the Component Axes in the dialog.
      How can I set or move the component axes when I create the definition via Ruby?

      Many thanks for any assistance!

        FYI, You can change the insertion point insertion_point=.

        You can also apply a transform to the entire entities of the definition ...

        
        ctr = cdef.bounds.center # Center of untransformed bounds
        # Arrays are compatible with translational transformations;
        xform = [ctr.x, ctr.y, 0].vector_to(ORIGIN)
        cdef_ents = cdef.entities
        # Move all the entities so that the axis is in the bottom center;
        cdef_ents.transfrom_entities(xform, cdef_ents.to_a)
        
        

        I'm not here much anymore.
