The UCS is an essential tool for many precision operations. The UCS defines. The horizontal and vertical directions used for features like Ortho mode, polar tracking, and object snap tracking. There are two coordinate systems: a fixed system called the world coordinate system WCS and a movable system called the user coordinate system UCS.
By default, these two systems are coincident in a new drawing. Click X, Y, or Z. World coordinate system WCS is the right handed cartesian co-ordinate system where we define the picture to be displayed.
A finite region in the WCS is called the Window. The corresponding coordinate system on the display device where the image of the picture is displayed is called the physical coordinate system.
What is the coordinate system in AutoCAD? In most 2D drawings, the Z-coordinate value is 0. The menu bar is not displayed by default, so an alternative method is to enter PLAN at the Command prompt.
How many coordinate systems are there in AutoCAD? AutoCAD allows you to define the placement of a point using two different coordinate systems. Then, enter ORigin. Temporarily aligns the XY plane of the UCS to a planar face on a 3D solid, planar mesh element, or planar point cloud segment while creating an object. Dynamic UCS is turned on default. Dynamic UCS is turned off. The drawing area displays an icon representing the XY axis of a rectangular coordinate system called the user coordinate system, or UCS.
How do you find the coordinate system in AutoCAD? In the Geographic Location dialog box, click Next. For further information, please see our documentation pages on:. When prompted to set a value, you can:. If you need your entire drawing to reference one or the other, please follow our instructions to restore a UCS or restore the WCS. Here's an example of a streetscape that has several Work Areas defined:. Select New UCS , then click to select an origin point. In this example, we'll click the origin in the street of Work Area 1, then define the X axis parallel with the street.
Because you have one or more Work Areas in the drawing, you won't be asked for the name of the new UCS. The cursor will simply turn into a pickbox, allowing you to select a Work Area.
In our example, we'll select Work Area 1. When you select the first Work Area, you'll zoom extents to it, and its UCS will be set as current and active. Now when you add objects or linework to one Work Area, the orientation of the objects will automatically reflect the UCS that's set for that Work Area. The same is true for irrigation pipe size callouts. For example, you might have a long length of pipe in your drawing that extends from one Work Area to another. Within each Work Area, the pipe sizes will orient to the angle of the UCS of that Work Area, even though the pipe is all part of the same system.
Unfortunately, there is no way to rotate placed irrigation head symbols without adversely affecting the spray arc. In this case, you'll need to either:. You can use our UCS tool to create a realistic origin, snapping to a point that correlates with the desired or actual SketchUp origin.
This in turn will prevent SketchUp from becoming unresponsive or crashing when you attempt to import. If you receive this message, you'll simply need to create a new UCS without a Z elevation.
Issue: Your UCS zooms to extents each time you open or unlock it. Issue: You placed a leader with text in a drawing where you've created a UCS, and the text is not lining up correctly with the leader. Issue: Objects are appearing backward in your drawing.
The origin point 0,0 is usually some survey point that the site layout is based upon, and north is generally straight up, along the Y axis. Option 2: Match your UCS to an existing object To set your UCS based on the the angle of an object in your drawing, such as a polyline, click that object.
The X axis will be placed at that angle from the current X axis.
