Hello everyone,

i'm having a brain fart today. I'm in MS and i need to change the UCS so that my grid like road system is vertical and horizontal on the screen and not diagonal. I know how to do it but i can not think of it right now. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Juice

go to view - viewpoint presents - change to relative to ucs - check ok - then type in command ucs - then on the commandline type "3" - this will ask to define a new ucs - with three points - one for base - one for x and one for y
- then go to view - named views and save it with current ucs.
 
on the command prompt type "ucs"
then select 'view' by typing "v"

The ucs should align with the current view you're on.
 
Another of the many possibilities:
Draw a line in the desired X direction
UCS
Object
Pick the line
UCSIcon
On
 
i did what you guys told me, And that's what i thought i had to do, but the actual drawing isn't rotating, only the xyz arrows in the botton corner is rotating. How do i rotate the drawing.

Thanks
Juice
 
The command to rotate the view to match the UCS is "PLAN".
