AutoCAD LT

[#1]

Hello!

(ACAD LT 2012)

I can't seem to locate the 0,0 (ORIGIN) in Model space.

SCENARIO 1:

I create a line > specify second pt to 0,0 > Enter = NADA

SCENARIO 2:

Create a Line > Select Line > Move to 0,0 = NADA

HOWEVER, If i create something, use COPYBASE command, and and specify 0,0 --> PASTE into new drawing with 0,0 as insertion point, it can locate it... so it's there.... i just can't find it.

Please help, thx!

Be more specific when typing out coordinates in LT, that way you avoid odd settings in files:

@x,y for relative

#x,y for absolute

See if that helps.

Thank YOU, Dean!!

This may sound lazy, but I do NOT want to type in #.

I've never had to do this (being specific) before using other acad version. 

However, the first link you provided solved my problem -- once I found where Dynamic Input was located.

step-by-step Solution:

Selection Cycling (CTRL W)  >   RT CLK Settings > Dynamic Input > Settings for POINTER INPUT  > Select ABSOLUTE COORDINATES.

Background Extras:

I trried to move something to 0,0 (before solution):   FAIL

Co-Worker #1 attempts same thing on her machine using same drawing:  SUCCESS

Co-Worker #2 attempts same thing on her machine same drawing:  FAIL

OPEN new drawing and attempt to locate 0,0:  FAIL

Co-Woker #2 finds Survey from consultant.  Attempts to locate 0,0 using her machine:  SUCCESS (weird since she couldn't do it in the previous drawing)

All 3 of us check our POINTER INPUT SETTINGS to see if it's a settings issue or drawing issue.  All of us have RELATIVE COORDINATES Selected.... (weird right?)

That's why I posted the links
