Project requirements hundreds of mile from 0,0,0?

Can anyone confirm an issue with AutoCAD MEP 2012 when objects are drawn +1.5 million feet from origin.

Hi Mike,

What kind of issue?  In general, we call any issue where objects are over a mile from the origin a "Large Coordinare Issue," and yes there are limitations.  Once you get about a mile from the origin, linework becomes less accurate.

This is not a concern unique to AutoCAD MEP... it is a general problem of any digital application dealing with huge numbers.

 

The way you can deal with 'real world coordinates' in AutoCAD is to utilize the GEOGRAPHICLOCATION features.
