UCS controlled through Model State?

Is it possible to move the UCS coordinate system from one corner to another using Model State?

I am not sure if this is possible to change as in toggle between different UCS`s with model states specifically but I know a UCS can be attached to a work point, and if your model states moves the work axis/point and or sketches you can use to create a work point it should change its position.

You may have to get creative with work planes and work axis to achieve your goal.

Hi! I believe the answer is yes. Part UCS has dual mode. It can be defined by picking three vertices. When these vertices change their locations, the UCS will follow.

Another mode is parameter-driven. You can place an UCS in the model space without picking anything. There will be three linear parameters and three angular parameters to drive. Assembly UCS only has one mode: parameter-drive though.

As long as the Model State can trigger the change in the vertices or the parameters, the UCS will follow.

Many thanks!

That is good to know, I will do some testing and report back on the outcome.

thanks for the tip.
