Mr guiff Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Can some one please hlep me? I was using AutoCAD 2009 and it was set up for me. Now I'm using 2012. How do I get the big thick coloured UCS (XYZ) that looks like three arrows back on screen. The one that is on my screen at the moment is the one that looks like three thin stiks (XYZ). I think there is something that is not set right.....Much appreciated thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Go to VIEW tab, click your visual styles manager dropdown list. You are probably looking at 2D wireframe visual style even though you have a 3D basics or 3D modeling workspace current. Select one of the visual styles (views) that shows surfaces instead of wireframe. Then your UCS icon will assume its pulcritudinous, pudgy, colorful, voluptuous, sexy, shape. Of ourse, you need to be in the visual style that suits what you are working on at the time, what you need to see, so sometimes you need to be looking at the wireframes. Since a while ago, I thnk 2010 maybe 2012, the UCS icon changes with the visual style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hey I thought I was going to learn a new word but when I searched for "pulcritudinous" on the web it said that word doesn't exist. Got it, pulchritudinous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it, pulchritudinous. I should have used rubenesque, or zaftig, or BBW, I can spell those, And I thought it meant pleasingly plump. But I hadda take a chance, didn't I.
