How to set user coordinate to always start in last snap point?

[Saabturbo]

Before when I was creating models the origin (0,0,0) was always set in the snap point i started the line in. Now suddenly something happend and now 0,0,0 is always starting in the Original XYZ point.

How do I get back to the old settings?

Maybe what you are describing has to do with the UCSFOLLOW variable setting (but I may have mis-understood what you have described).

If this isn't it, can you please try to illustrate this issue?  Or maybe explain it in some other way?

Maybe you are right, but I didn't succed with UCSfollow either.

See attached picture:

If i like to start a line in point 2, I could do that earlier by snapping. Then i could type in lengh of the new lin: example 1500,0,0. Then the line was starting in point 2 and ended 1500mm away in X direction.

Now it starts in point 2 to but ends up 1500mm away from point 1 (in X direction from point 1).

I don't know what i have changed?

That's something entirely different!

It sounds like you're describing the difference between absolute and relative coordinate entry.

Check the setting of DYNPICOORDS.

Hi

I didn't succeed with Dynpicoords or # or *. But it worked fine with @. Great!

But I have to add the @ for each line, how could i get it to be set forever?

The @ means "relative to the last point picked".

I assumed you are using Dynamic Input (DYNMODE = 1, 2, or 3).

I thought setting DYNPICOORDS = 0 means "relative" coordinate input is "automatic" or assumed (in other words, you can omit the @).

If you are not using Dynamic Input, then you will have to use the @.

Now it works perfect!!!

DYNMOD was set wrong. I changed it to 1.

THANKS!
