Quick question about moving objects

[Vigilante]

aCAD LT 2009

 

The move command doesn't work the same as in 2002. I want to move an object to the 0,0 point in the work space. But in LT apparently when you try to move, it only wants relative points.

 

In 2002, I would select the object, run move command, type "0,0", hit enter and the object zips down to that point.

On LT, I select the object, run move command, type "0,0" and it's just a relative displacement, in other words, it doesn't move at all. I've searched the help file but cannot find how to move an object TO specific coordinates. I must be missing something. How do I tell LT 2009 to move an object to 0,0?

 

Thanks.

there are a couple of things to note.

 

IF you are using dynamic input you can prefix your co-ordinates with a # to go to an absolute point.

 

alternatively turn off dynamic input and it should work as you expect (I like dynamic input)

 

To move relative you can use the @ prefix.

Hmm, yes the # worked, now I wonder if I can make that the default instead of @? I don't really want to entirely turn off dynamic input just to change one command.

Funny they didn't put that little trick in the help file.

there is a setting which I can't remember as I am quite happy using the #. What I find annoying is that the # doesn't work if you aren't using dynamic input - which means I can't write a script that works for the whole office!

I personally can't stand the Dyn. Input. I see its benefits and think it's a great tool, but I don't need it myself.
