UCS/Draw Plane Tools

 Getting Started 

The following UCS/Draw Plane Tools facilitate the creation of entities in three-dimensional space. These tools are used to alter the working draw plane. "UCS" stands for User Coordinate System.  We use "Draw Plane" to help users understand the purpose of the UCS. The UCS is a moveable, manipulatable coordinate system to help our users more easily work in 2D and 3D drawing space.

4.ssUCSUcsToView Align UCS to Current View: Aligns the User Coordinate System with the currently activated view.

 

5.ssUCSViewToUcs Align Current View to UCS: Aligns the currently activated view with the User Coordinate System.

 

6.ssUCSUcsOriginToWcsOrigin Move UCS Origin to WCS Origin: Moves the User Coordinate System origin to coincide with the World Coordinate System origin.

       

7.ssUCSAlignUcsWcsAxis Align UCS Axis to WCS Axis: Aligns the User Coordinate System axis to the World Coordinate System axis.

       

8.ssUCSSelectUcsViaEntites Align UCS to Selected Entities: Aligns the User Coordinate System to the plan of the selected entities.
