UCS Next command missing?

annette.jennings42 — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 18:24:10 GMT

I just set up a new computer and got all my settings transferred and things seemed to be working great, except for one thing. I use "UCS Next" frequently to cycle through UCS rotations, but it's like it's completely gone missing.

Is there a setting I'm forgetting that needs to be toggled to see this command?

AutoCAD 2015

Thank you!

UCS Next? How exactly did that one work, describe it while in use.

I also use CADWorx Plant on top of AutoCAD, so maybe that's where the problem lies!

The Next command shows up on the UCS command line along with the usual selections such as OBject, Face, World, etc.

The functionality is such that if X,Y,Z are oriented left, right, up, the UCS will rotate (once per command entry) through the six possible orientations like the faces of a die.

Yes it is part of CADWorx Plant: got a sneak peak at it here before it asked me for $$ https://www.scribd.com/document/186286953/CADWorx-Equipment-User-Guide

I fixed it - I had forgotten to take the step of running the "Setup Profile CADWorx" exe file prior to running the program for the first time
