Rotated UCS in paperspace

[pwickensPPZT6]

In paperspace, if I rotate the UCS around the Z axis to create dimensions at a particular angle, and then double click anything within the viewport area (still in paperspace with UCS rotated), the view switches to the model space of the viewport. I then have to reset my UCS in paperspace back to world in order to double click an entity (within the border of the viewport) to be able to edit it. I have tried to forward this as a bug but Autodesk has well and truely hidden any options to do this.

Hi,

you are right, the click-coordinates are calculated wrong while ucs is not wcs (rotated, or moved, so it isn't longer the wcs)

The only workaround is to deactivate the doubleclick-jump-into-the-viewport feature: SPACESWITCH variable(0)

It's a temporary setting, so you have to set it by your own acaddoc.lsp

line to add:

(setvar "SPACESWITCH" 0)

But this way, you need to use command MSPACE or the statusbar button to jump into your viewports (when you want to do this).

Or, create a button to turn this feature ON/OFF.

Whatever you think is the best for you.

Hi,
I still want to use the double click to enter a viewport.
The issue is I don't want to enter the viewport while editing a paperspace entity above the viewport. With the UCS rotated, it jumps into the viewport rather than editing the entity. The UCS must be in world to double click an entity above the viewport for editing.
Give it a go and you will see the issue that I believe is a bug in the software.
I shouldn't have to disable the spaceswitch variable every time I have the UCS rotated prior to editing paperspace entities. Or to rotate the UCS back to world either.
Am I asking too much from the software?

I know and confirmed it!

>you are right, the click-coordinates are calculated wrong while ucs is not wcs (rotated, or moved, so it isn't longer the wcs)

And it is a long time bug!

But the only way to solve it, is on Autodesk.

My hint (button to turn on/off the switch feature)  is just a workaround, what is good for some situations.

Thanks for confirming.

Will this discussion get back to Autodesk so that it can be adressed in future releases?
