Rotate a building in UCS to WCS coordinate

[antigonos.2]

Hi,

I have a lot of caddrawings of buildings that are drawing using a UCS (User Coordinate System) there up is up, left is left..

The problem is that i want to rotate the WCS (world Coordinate System) there so it match the UCS, but rotate of the WCS cant be done.

So I want to rotate all drawings so that they WCS looks like they do in UCS today

The reason why I want to do this is that the dataextraction function is using the WCS coordinate system and i have to transform the drawing, so the result become the same if it have a option to use UCS.

Can anyone see a easy way to do this?

Perhaps if you post a sample showing your problem..  I couldn't follow your description of your UCS.

Depending on the complexity of your drawing, one technique that might work:  Make your UCS current.  CTRL+X in model space and select all objects.  Change to WCS.  Pasteorig and it should move the objects to your desired orientation.

Hi Thank you for your suggestion. But it didint work and i think i have too many objects to my  Autocad architecture 2011.

The problems is that i cant copy so many object. if a one copy a few lines it work fine.

Here is a sample of a drawing. My problem is as I said in my last post that I will do a dataextraction of the drawing and the result would be that the UCS was the WCS. The importent things is the angles, x and y position of the hole building is not importent.

And i should do a explode all before the dataextraction to make simple cadobjects. If i do the explode before or after rotation is the same for me.

The problem is that i have a lot of cad drawings and the people who should do the cadjobb is not people with cad experience. (so i should do i easy guide, maeby record, lisp, vba or something)

The solution i have now is use Dview, then Twist and try and get a good angle. Then do this for all buildings on one house, the problem is that i have a lot of houses and the work should be done during a longer period.
