Using absolute cordinates

[mechdesign21]

How do i move something like I have shown below,  i have done it for years it does not work now for some reason.

command: move

pick object<enter>

endpoint<enter>

0,0,0

and it would move to 0,0,0.  Now I broke it and this does not.  what needs to be clicked to set it right again.

thanks,

If you're using dynamic input, the default is relative coordinate entry.  Either turn that off or use an absolute prefix(the asterisk), such as:

*0,0,0

Enter MOVE on the command line.

Select the objects and press Enter.

Select a base point for the objects.

Enter #0,0 for the second point.

Not sure how long ago (seems like a while) and not sure why, but AutoCAD now requires the # symbol to place objects at the origin.

Hello @mechdesign21 

Type in the command DYNPICOORDS and set it to "1". See if that helps 🙂

If you like to work in dynamic input mode(dynmode is set >0), see all replies above

* and the main setting dynpicoords [F1]

or you like to work in classic input mode: Turn off your dynamic input.

You can use the toggle [F12] - it does set dynmode to a negative value  what means "off"
