attribute in realtion to current ucs

hello,

I'm trying to create an attribute that will show the x & y values of an object/point in realtion to to a new defined ucs (I'm using autocad 2008).

for some reason, the attribute i'm trying to define only shows the the x,y parameters in relation to world ucs.

I made sure the new defined ucs is set as current.

In the attribute definition dialouge box i did as following:

default > field name: object > selected the object (a circle) >

property: center > format: current units.

when trying to do this in other drawings all works fine, but i've already tryed to purge everything from this file, to copy all lines to a new drawing but nothing helps.

thanks!

I think the problem is in the object ie a circle was it drawn in the new UCS ?

Circles will become ovals in new UCS because they are still in the original world plane.

Well, i have been trying to do the same with a point (instead of a circle) but the coordinates remained the same.

[basically, what i'm trying to do is to create a block attribute that will automatically give me X,Y coordinates according to its location in relation to a ucs i created. i thought i could do it by using a point or circle. is there any other way?].

Not sure how this helps but in my old lisp manual

Group codes by entity

code 210 Extrusion direction (present if entity's extrusion direction is not parrallel to world Z axis apllies to lines blocks circles etc

It also talks about codes Y(220) Z(230)

Not sure if this has helped.

found it !

Trans is a lips function to convert from wcs tos ucs or back

didn't try it ran out of time
