coordinate xref ucs with the host one


Recommended Posts

Posted

I usually attach an xref to my drawing as a workflow, but I neverreally understand why its so difficult to locate it after importing. The xref almost always comes far away from theinsertion point. I tried to open thexref and set new ucs at the corner of the geometry but its all the same.

How can I coordinate xref ucs to my host drawing ucs?

Thanks

Set UCS in both files to "World". Find a reference point, something that is at the same place in both files. Copy/Paste a marker of your preference from the base file to the XREF file then move the objects in the XREF so that they are coordinated with the marker. Insert XREF at (0,0).

Also check the system variable INSBASE in the xrefed drawing. It should be (0,0,0).
