which coordinates used

[cadking2k5]

I would like to know how you can figure out what type of coordinates was used on the GETPOINT function OR just get what they type in.

(getpoint ...) always return coordinates in UCS. Or do you ask about something else?

[Kent1Cooper]

I don't think there's any way to know that after the fact -- (getpoint) just returns a list of coordinates, without any distinction about how they were arrived at.  If you can explain why you want to be able to differentiate between types of input, or what use you will make of the informstion, maybe someone can think of a way to accomplish it, which might mean [for example] some approach that doesn't use (getpoint) itself.

Hi,

I don't see a way to obtain the input from users other than using the log file or a key logger. The log file can be activated in Options, "Open and Save" tab, and you can download a key logger from internet.

"type of coordinates was used on the GETPOINT

function OR just get what they type in."

My guess:

 Pointer derived 'coordinates' are in the UCS;

 Key entries are just a list of numbers, 3 'reals,'

which can be in any CS, but if used by a command,

would be interpreted as in UCS.
