Routing pipe uses a dynamic UCS, how do I shut this off?

[WPerciful]

As you’re routine piping in AutoCAD Plant 3D the UCS is constantly changing itself as you route. Is there a way to disable this?  A dynamic UCS during routing renders point filters useless.  This feature is an endless frustration.

I do not wish to employ another method for routine pipe to compensate for the software rendering point filters, during routing, useless. I’ve been routing pipe and then stopping to realigning the pipe with point filters.

Try turning the compass feature off.

That doesn't fix the issue.  If you're in a front view and set the UCS to current the cube will say Top.  But the moment you begin to route it changes.

Maybe I'm missing something - appears to work for me.

The fist screen shot is prior to routing pipe.  The second is once you've begun routing pipe.  Notice the UCS (nave cube) changes the moment that routing begins.  It continues to adjust the UCS while routing.  This means if I'm routing to a tie point I need to route, then stop then adjust the routed line using the point filters after I've either deleted segments of the route or locked segments of the route.

Modify your view cube settings as shown:

Might you know the system variable for that setting?

Hmmm, this setting doen't do it for me. I still have the frustration over the coordinate system changing when routing. Any other ideas?

Thanks, so there is no solution but only frustration 🙂 🙂 

Hope they fix this in further versions. Thansk anyway and wish you a nice weekend.
