trouble moving objects with co-ordinates

[manchest]

Hi

 

If I try to move a object using co-orniteases to say 0,0 AuoCAD 2010 is automaticaly putting the @ before the 0,0 and the object is therfore not moving anywhere.

 

Is there a varible to turn this off?

 

Thanks for your help

If you have Dynamic Input turned on, use the pound sign # to specify the absolute coordinates of the destination ie #0,0

Thanks Nestly

 

It was the Dynamic input turned on, so just turned off

Just to clarify things for the Brits, in the UK "#" is known as the hash symbol and the "£​" symbol is the pound sign. We don't want the natives getting restless nestly. :wink:

 

See this link for the 'official' explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_sign

Here's a tip from Jack O'Niell:

 

You can set the dynamic input to work the way you want. Right click on that button on the status bar I was talking about, then click on settings and you can configure it in a dialog called "Drafting Settings".

I never get out of my office, much less the Country, so you can't expect me to know what sort of crazy language you guys engage in over there....

 

I'll try to be more precise with my description of that symbol in the future.

That's only one of many, nestly, and I was just ribbing you anyway. I'm no longer in UK and sometimes I have a hell of a job trying to explain to the Germans the differences between US-English and UK-English, they say its just one language. Its the content that counts not the language :wink:

Tomato, vegetable??? Now that raises a very interesting and long standing question, is a tomato a vegetable or a fruit?

sshhh!! Don't say that! If my co-hab realises that tomato is a fruit he'll never eat it with his food again!!
