Bunch of polylines won't move where I want

[castagnaccio]

Hi everyone,

 

i have a ".dxf" file (I also tried to do the same operation on a .dwg file but there is no differnce..) that contains a bunch of polylines in a 3D space (these polylines are contour lines of a surface that I created with another software...)

These polylines are placed in a specific place of the space (georefereced..) but I need to MOVE them near the orgin of the 3 axes (0,0,0).

 

I uploaded an example of the file that I need to modify. ---> catu.dxf

 

I do the following steps:

- select every polyline with the mouse cursor

- clic on the "move" icon

- I type the base point: "714000,98000", and press enter

- I type the second point "0,0", and press enter

(the z value has to be the same after the repositioning)

 

But the polyline stay at the same spot.

 

Can anyone please explain me why I can't move these polylines?

 

Thank you in advance

Change DYNPICOORDS to 1, or when typing in the 0,0 use #0,0.

Thank you RKENT for the hints, they worked

 

I checked for DYNPICOORDS, and the value 1 means that the coordinates that I type will be absolute. That's strange.. I never had this problem... But good to know it

 

Many thanks again

If moving and have Z then 714000,98000,0 0,0,0 takes into account Z

yep, sure

 

but I also saw that if I don't type any z value at all, autocad just desn't consider that axis and doesn't modify that value.
