edoll Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hello all and thanks ahead of time for any guidance. To simply put it, I am grabbing linework from a dwg and copying it from base point 0,0,0. in the drawing that I want to copy it into, I hit ctrl+v and type 0,0,0 to put it exactly where it needs to be. For some reason, that I cannot figure out, the 0,0,0 point in the two drawings are different...so I have to zoom extents and hunt for it 10,000feet away in model space. But that is not the main problem because I can always find it and move it where it needs to be. The main problem is that when I move the copied linework over the previous linework that needs updated, it has been rotated like 3 - 4 degrees. That, or my base file's linework has been rotated 3 - 4 degrees - which doesn;t make sense because my base files linework is made up of xref's! All drawings are set to UCS World. Is there a way to make the 0,0,0 points the same location in both my base file and all the xrefs? I can kind of tell that my base file is not completely vertical when the xref dwg is...is there a setting that my base file has for xref's that is rotating them 3 - 4 degrees? Sorry if this is complicated...I am having this problem on several of my projects. I can explain more if I need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Check the BASE point for each file. Also, check the DVIEW/TWIST angle to make sure it is set to 0 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
