I have been told that when you have many layers of coordinate systems there can be errors due to the transformation when solving, i.e.:

A -> B -> C -> D -> Global

instead of:

A & B & C & D -> Global

Therefore it is a bad practice to have many nested CSys.

Is there any truth to it? How significant would the errors be?


Thanks all.

This is a very very old error (predates v2001).
