Cannot Taper Face

[rkoog]

I am using AutoCAD 2004 and have drawn a cube 4ft x 4ft using the box command. I am simply trying to taper a face 15 percent. It does not work but if I open a new drawing, it does work. Any ideas?

The taper did not work in the original drawing but works in a new drawing. What did you do differently?

[rkoog]

As far as the taper, I did not do anything differently. It must be something in the drawing.

Are you able to repeat the error intentionally?

[rkoog]

Yes, I have tried drawing different size boxes and different angles and after trying the taper the command line just says, "[Extrude/Move/Rotate/Offset/Taper.....

Maybe it is the way you're making your picks?

I tried it again this morning. It works fine in the drawing I'm currently working in but not in the one that is giving me trouble.

Sorry but I can't think of a setting that might affect it. Major brain freeze.

The message I was getting is "No solution for a vertex". I failed to put that in the description of the problem. I found an answer, but not sure I like it. The answer is to move the model closer to 0,0. I tried it and it worked.

 

Maybe someone has a better answer. I don't like having to move the model.

ever tried moving the UCS itself closer to the model? so the coordinates 0,0,0 will be tied closer to your model

I did try moving the UCS origin and it did not help. The only thing I could do was change to the Word UCS and move the model closer to 0,0,0.
