I have a drawing that I have created a new UCS in, copied the geometry into a new drawing created the surface, WBlock and Inserted the surface back into the original drawing. It lands perfectly over the orginal geometry. But when I explode the block to return it to a surface. It creates a surface that doubles the original surface, one in the current UCS and one in the World UCS linked together. See two attached drawings. The original drawing is A39 (Old Model)-Mod (Not Exploded), and Drawing 2 where I created the surface.
All I want to do is copy my surface from the Drawing 2, into the A39 drawing. Which I have done using Wblock/Insert, but when I explode the surface in the A39 drawing it doesn't maintain the geometry..
This sounds odd. The only time I can see needing to do this is because of different coordinate systems, is this the case? Or are the two drawings just not drawing using the same coordinates?
If they are in different defined coordinate systems, export the surface to a .IMX file and then import that into the other drawing.
If this is a case of two people not coordinating the drawings so they are drawn in the same areas within the drawings, well, I would recommend moving the drawing that doesn't have the surface in it to the location of the drawing with the surface.
I do have two differing UCS's. Which enables me to have two views of the model. I needed to do this becasue CAD does not like to create a surface on a near vertical wall. You will see these different Usc's in the list one is World the other is Side. So I was not familiar with an IMX file. I tried to export out of one drawing and import into the other drawing very similar results to exporting/importing an XML file. Which doesn't work.
I was referring to different coordinate systems, you know, the kind you can assign to the drawing through the drawing settings, not to user coordinate systems.
I'm sorry, I don't have a good workaround for this situation as it has only come up once before and my client went a different route with solving it (not sure what they did).
