Drawing angle issue

[lufc100]

Hi everybody,

I recieved some drawings for a new project. I have to edit some of the drawings. The problem I have are that the drawings seem to be at a strange angle. When I go to draw a ortho line it goes of at a strange angle. Can anybody help me,

Thanks v much,

Mac.

Try checking what the UCS is set to.

 

How 'strange' is the angle? 1deg, 15deg, 30deg,??

I don't know I'd say the drawing is about 110 degress. I can't measure it as the ortho 90 degree is at about 110 degress as well.

Have you tried setting SNAPANG to "0"?

[nukecad]

As remark says try snapang first.

If not then it sounds like your UCS has been rotated.

 

The settings used to be on- TOOLS > ORTHOGRAPHIC UCS >

not sure if its the same in 2010 but if you put UCS in the help it will point you to it.

Thanks for your suggestions.

First of all I tried entering Snapang 0.

That didnt work so I tried New Ucs Z = 0.

That didnt do anything either. It's asking me to specify the rotation angle. But I don't know it as my ortho vertical line isnot at 90 degress.

Any other ideas?

I would have expected SNAPANG to reset the crosshairs if nothing else.

 

Have you taken a look in Units and checked the direction that the base angle is set to?

 

Can you post the drawing so we can take a look at it?

 

Is this a 2D or 3D drawing?

See your other post (don't double post please)

OKay I've uploaded the drawing. If you could have a look at it that would be great.

 

Thanks

Your UCS is rotated. You'd know that if your UCSIcon was on.

Try UCS > World

[eldon]

Yes, your UCS is aligned to Grid Line A, and at the moment, your lines drawn with Ortho are parallel or at right angles to Grid Line A, which might be useful if you need to draw in that direction.

Thats it

Thanks to you all for helping

May i ask how was this problem solved?

type UCS enter W enter (w means UCS World to go back to UCS Standard)
