problem in moving objects to 0,0,0 in LT2008

[Dipali]

Its very samll problem but very annoying as i was using it a lot before switching it to LT.
When i try to move group of objects to base point 0,0,0 it does not happen in LT.
Here is copy histroy how i am trying to do it.

Command: m
MOVE
Select objects: all
211 found
107 were not in current space.
Select objects:
Specify base point or [Displacement] <Displacement>: Specify second point or
<use first point as displacement>: @0,0,0
& enter.

Nothing Happens. not even any massage of explanation or error.:?
It always use to work when i was using full version in my previous job.:(

Second point should be "0,0,0", not "@0,0,0".
@ is a relative displacement, so you've told it to have zero displacement.

Yeah, as Carl said, what you told it was to move everything from the base point to the base point, That's why you didn't see anything happen.

Second point should be "0,0,0", not "@0,0,0".
@ is a relative displacement, so you've told it to have zero displacement.

I am typing 0,0,0 only, but it is showing @0,0,0 in command line.
Any guess why that would be?

[CarlB]

Yeah, I don't recall the setting you need to change so that doesn't happen. Some system variable to tell it not to use relative coordinates as the default. it's been discussed here. And there is an override character - is it #0,0,0?

**edit**

See this thread. Even though I answered in that thread doesn't mean that I remember it :)

thanks carl
I knew it had to be something very simple:oops:
i am thinking from sometime now to practice all system veriables availbal in auto cad to know what each one does. i will try to do it as earliest in my freetime.

That sounds like a real good plan. Then you can be one of the variable gurus. We only have a few of them here, and we need more. :D
