AUTOCAD UCS HOW TO CONTROL IT

I exit Mspace and enter a different VPort and the UCS of this and every other Vport in the drawing has changed to that of the first. I enter mspace in one VP and restore a UCS setting where the crosshairs are 45 degrees and the origin is also differnet. Edge, Vertex Manipulation Dynamic User Coordinate System (UCS) Work in.UCS follow is switched to 0 in all VPs. How We Can Control the Coordinate System?Model space viewports have been around in AutoCAD for years with little change.

Autocad Ucs How To Control It

In the UCS dialog box, Named UCSs tab, select the UCS definition you want to delete. Click View tab Coordinates panel Named UCS. In this article, we are going to discuss how to control it and why.In-Product View. In 2D, there are many things that you can do by controlling coordinate system. The coordinate system you define will be a UCS (User Coordinate System).

In AutoCAD, we can consider World Coordinate System (WCS) as global coordinate and User Coordinate System (UCS) as local coordinate.*What a coincidence. When we need to draw angled object in AutoCAD, in some cases it would be easier if we rotate the coordinate temporarily.Surveyor often need to work with local coordinate, but they may not mess up with the global coordinate. As you know, we input the point coordinate base on those axis. Post So Why Would We Need to Move/Rotate Our Coordinate?UCS (user coordinate system) icon is showing you X axis and Y axis, an the origin.

All the options are here.The tools on first row, are used to move, save, or reset coordinate system to world coordinate system (WCS).On the second row, you can use the tools to rotate AutoCAD coordinate system using coordinate axis. Go to view tab, coordinates panel. We still can do it now, but if you are not command line big fan, you may want to use the ribbon panel. How We Can Control the Coordinate System?In the old days, we type UCS and choose the options.

It is very useful if you want to create line with specific angle. Using SNAPANGYou can also use SNAPANG to rotate the cursor. And donвЂ™t forget, ortho mode and polar tracking also using the XY axis! Try to create linear dimension and see how it works. In this example, I use object and pick a line in the drawing.As you can see, the UCS icon is now moved and aligned to the top most line (I pick that line).Now when we create rectangle, linear dimensions, etc it will be aligned to the current UCS orientation. It would be easier to rotate the coordinate system to complete the job. Examples Aligned ObjectsLetвЂ™s say we need to draw the interior, parking lot and more objects to complete the AutoCAD drawing.

No problem.Now type PLAN at command line then press enter.In the command option, choose Current UCS.Now you can see the viewport is now align to your new UCS, which is parallel to your screen. Rotating ViewStill find it difficult? Many of us prefer to work with the object aligned to our screen. Not aligned to the cursor.Thank you to Mark Loomis, Chad and Craig Black for bringing this up. When you type 5,0 coordinate as next point, it will be created using current UCS.

The bottom red line should be at 0,00 elevation. In Architecture drawing, you may need to annotate the elevation view.This example, shows a rough elevation view (yes itвЂ™s bad and lazy drawing, I know), but the elevation level is not showing correctly. If you are in manufacturing industry, you probably need to annotate part/assembly coordinates, or holes coordinates. You surveyors should familiar with this.

The value never changed even we move the UCS around to new places. The left dimensions on local coordinate. The right dimensions was created in word coordinate. We need to move the origin before create the ordinate dimension.So after we restore the UCS to World coordinate, the dimension will use the world coordinate value? Nope.
