Exporting named UCS settings

[bass_mark00]

Is there a way of exporting saved UCS views to another drawing?

 

Thanks

I've seen on previous posts that there is a LISP for importing them but most of my clients are on LT. Besides that, I'm suprised that AutoDesk have not offered a sensible solution yet to a very time consuming process.

if you have a full autocad then its probbaly possible to write out the ucs details as a script which would run on LT same with full autocad you can script UCS's. If say UCS ob say a line then just list object and paste its values into notepad bit of editing and done.

Excellent, I've given it a go and it works fine. The method I chose to use was to draw up sample lines to set the UCS to using OBJECT and then using a FENCE to select. The script was then written accordingly and the lines were pasted into each drawing for the script to run off.

 

Another very neat option is to simply use a UCS rotation around the Z axis (for 2D situations) where it doesn't need to specifically be set to a certain object. There are other possibilities as well, but bottom line; scripts are a very sensible option, thanks very much.
