AutoCAD 2013/2014 DWG Format

[#1]

I noticed that relative coordinates are not working in UCS Origin in Autocad 2013.

I used to create an UCS according to a mesh of coordinates (North/East). To do that I first aligned the UCS to the North axis and point the origin to known coordinates (this part is working). Then I created a new UCS using relative coordinates, like "non @ -286200,-7485500". This relative coordinates entry are not working anymore in this version of Autocad (2013). Does anybody also notice this bug?

Hi,

>> This relative coordinates entry are not working anymore in this version of Autocad (2013)

But???

What are you getting as result? At least let us know what AutoCAD is talking to you when you tried that. In other words, copy the content of the command-window so we can see what you did exactly and what AutoCAD sent to you as message, what it does not like.

Sorry for not being clear. Autocad accepts the relative coordinates but the values are not right.

Below is an example: I started a new drawing, created a line in 0,0 to 5,0; then moved ucs using relative coordinate (non @-10,-10) and en check coordinates of the line. It should be 10,10 but it it  81.2696,93.5429.

Command: l LINE
Specify first point: 0,0

Specify next point or [Undo]: non @5,0

Specify next point or [Undo]:

Command: ucs

Current ucs name:  *WORLD*
Specify origin of UCS or [Face/NAmed/OBject/Previous/View/World/X/Y/Z/ZAxis] <World>: o

Specify new origin point <0,0,0>: non @-10,-10

Command: ID Specify point:  X = 81.2696     Y = 93.5429     Z = 0.0000

What I realized now is that when Autocad prompts to coordinates entry it first points the reference coordinate to the UCS icon on the screen (!)

Now I found out the solution: I have to change UCS icon property "Selectable" to NO...

But don't you think this is a BUG!?

If you mean with 10,10 the startpoint of the line, then you are right.

For me: I can't reproduce this issue, see my command-output:

Command: _line
Specify first point: 0,0
Specify next point or [Undo]: @5,0
Specify next point or [Undo]:
Command: _ucs
Current ucs name:  *WORLD*
Specify origin of UCS or [Face/NAmed/OBject/Previous/View/World/X/Y/Z/ZAxis] <World>: _origin
Specify new origin point <0,0,0>:
>>Enter new value for ORTHOMODE <0>:
Resuming UCS command.

Specify new origin point <0,0,0>: _none @-10,-10

Command: _id Specify point: _end of  X = 10.0000     Y = 10.0000     Z = 0.0000

Check if UCS icon property "Selectable" is YES or NO. If it is NO, set it to YES and try again.

With UCS icon property "Selectable" set to YES, I realized that when Autocad prompts to coordinates entry it first points the reference coordinate to the UCS icon on the screen (!)

With UCS icon property "Selectable" set to NO, there is no error.

Don't you think this is a BUG?
