    Hi,....

     

    Is it possible to draw something in a user defined local coordinate system (e.g... panels, beams etc)?

     

    ....just want  to draw some purlins of a complicated roof!

     

     

     

    Regards!

    You can use Local Working Plane but not system.

    So,.I can only work/draw in a global coordinate system!?

     

    I tried "Local Working Plane" before opening this thread, but couldn't define any structure axis, etc.

    Yes, coordinates are in global system.

    Structural axes must be defined in global system.

    Hi

     

    I am having problems getting this feature to work correctly. I have read the following:

    http://docs.autodesk.com/RSA/2013/ENU/index.html

     

    Could someone please upload a jing video or some screen captures to show how it is done?

     

     

    Regards

    Peder
