where is the Geographic location dialogue box?
(OP)
Hey all ..
Wow haven't posted a question here in a while ..
However this problem is annoying the hell out of me.
Im using ACAD 2002 on winxp sp2.
I have a 3D model set up and now i want to view some shadows and how the shadows might cast at different times of the day. Saw in help that i can set the Geographic location so that the sun angle will be correct.
However and i don't know if this is a fault with my ACAD version or if i have somehow turned some options off, but, i can't seem to find the Geographic location Dialogue Box anywhere. When i type in the light command, i get a box with two columns 'lights' and 'ambient light', when in the help it says i should be able to specify the city, latitude longtitude, map etc ...
where has the dialogue box gone?
cheers and many thanks

RE: where is the Geographic location dialogue box?
Type = LIGHT
Select = NEW
You well get a dialog box for a light source.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply .. but .. er .. i do know how to get the light command and its dialogue box. However the question is about how to get the Geographic location Dialogue Box.
Anyone knows?
