UCS in multiple viewports
UCS in multiple viewports
(OP)
Any idea how to return to the r-14 like condition of the same UCS in all viewports while in model space? I'm 3D-ing an assembly, and I need to go get parts in other viewports, and I need those UCS's to be the same as the UCS in the main viewport, and if I change it in the main viewport, I need all viewports to go to the same UCS.
1. No, UCSFOLLOW is something else.
2. UCSVIEW & UCSORTHO & UCSVP seem to have no desired effect.
Is there something in "Preferencec" I'm missing? Is there a variable I'm missing? Remember the old edit variables command in r-14? Anything like that in 2002? If so, I'm missing it in my search.
Thanks-

RE: UCS in multiple viewports
Could you be looking for "UCSMan"?
Hope that helps ....
Sorry in advance if that doesn't help.

Thanks- I'll check that out. Either way I'll post here.

RE: UCS in multiple viewports
From ACAD Help:
UCSVP
Type: Integer
Saved in: Drawing (viewport specific)
Initial value: 1
Determines whether the UCS in viewports remains fixed or changes to reflect the UCS of the current viewport.
0 Unlocked; UCS reflects the UCS of the current viewport
1 Locked; UCS stored in viewport, and is independent of the UCS of the current viewport

Also- remember in r-14 we could actually list the variables, get a brief description and change them within one command? I think it was a part of the bonus menu features. Anything like that still available in ACAD now? Am I just missing it or did they "improve" that too?
Tks-

Thanks! I looked and looked, but I guess I overlooked sysvdlg.
You guys are great! Leveraging your expertise has helped me immensely on my new job. Stuff like this gets set a little over time so that we lose visibility (and memory) of how we set things up for daily use. I'm on a brand new job now, and some of these things have never been done here, and it puts me in a position of having to dig this stuff out. Transitioning from 2000i to 2000, and remembering some of the setups I had migrated from 14 to 2000i...whew!
Chicopee: That's pretty near what I was doing. Check out the utility of ucsvp. It's not exactly what we (I) used to do, but its a reasonable workaround. I guess the ability to have multiple UCS's now, makes this a decent tradeoff.
Thanks all- sincerely!
