Object doesn't snap correct after ID coordinates and move

[jocke.o92]

I want to move some object to a know coordinate .For this I use ID on the corcet coordinate intersection shown in the image (blue). Then I copy this coordinates from the command filed. After that I select the object I want to move and type move, specify the base point and the after enter the ID coordinates that I just copied.

But when I zoom in closely, I see that is not moved to the exact location, I did not snap on the intersection that I copied the coordinates from. The white line in the image is the object move to the blue intersection. It is a very small distance between them, 0.000037m, but I still want it to be perfect. Coordinates show same location.

Why is this?

I use this to move non coordinate drawings to correct coordinate for drawings.

@jocke.o92 ,

This could be an issue of high coordinate values (too far from coordinate 0,0,0) - move closer to 0,0,0.

Read these helpful links:

• Different issues with high coordinates in AutoCAD products
• Poor precision when working with Osnaps in AutoCAD

Hi,

different Z Position..! You copied just x and y coordinate values perhaps?

And another thing: AutoCAD uses mor than just 8 decimal places, but you see just 8 (if luprec is set to 😎

and the view is not perpendicular?

Command PLAN world or current

I re-write my answer:

Look at your both ID results, you copied numbers with only 3 decimal places - these values are rounded values!

for example:

1.23456789 is the real X-coordinate,

your luprec is set to 3, thats why ID say: 1.124

You copy from xxxx to X=1.124

but the real X coordinate is 1.23456789

Difference= 0.00543211

Never use the value which you see on the screen (e.g. after "id", or "list" or in the properties window and others)  as input for an other command. (@cadffm wrote above why not). 

Why you don't use the int osnap (or other osnaps if needed) directly while the move command?  >>example<<

EDIT: 

By the way: If _int doesn't work because the two lines don't touch (which I don't believe, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get the [approximate] intersection coordinates using the id command), you can use the Apparent Intersection (_appint) instead. Read more about this in the help (F1).

>>" I did not snap on the intersection that I copied the coordinates from."

But you should SNAP to the intersection 😉

from point <clickpoint>

V1: Same Z-Value as Intersection

to:

_int

<your copied coordinate>

V2: Same X+Y Value, but Z-Value 0

to:

.Z

0

_int

<your copied coordinate>

This is true. I saw it now and that is the problem. 

[jocke.o92]

But this I could also do if my drawing is close to the point, but in my case I I want to be able to copy an insertion point and move it to the intersection without the need to zoom and snap on.

I don't understand what you want to do. Can you post an example drawing please? 

[jocke.o92]

What I want to do is an action record that record my moves (scale, move, rotate). I have a coordinate grid (Baslines/systemlines), and I get drawings that are not in correct coordinate system, just origo 0 and in mm. So what I want to do is record my action when I scale, move, rotate to the correct coordinate system lines. And to move my drawing to this intersection of two lines I wanted to use ID to get the coordinates and the just copy this coordinates to the move function so that my drawing will move to the exact intersection. Now I need to move it one more time to get it exact.

I will give an example video, because I am so bad at explaining and my English is not that good.

[j.palmeL29YX]

If I understand you right, I would simply use the ALIGN command to move, rotate and scale the "wrong" geometry into the wanted coordinate system.
