Specify Origin of UCS
Defines a new UCS using one, two, or three points:
■ If you specify a single point, the origin of the current UCS shifts without
changing the orientation of the X, Y, and Z axes.
■ If you specify a second point, the UCS rotates to pass the positive X axis
through this point.
■ If you specify a third point, the UCS rotates around the new X axis to
define the positive Y axis.
The three points specify an origin point, a point on the positive X axis, and a
point on the positive XY plane.
NOTE If you do not specify a Z coordinate value when entering a coordinate, the
current Z value is used.
TIP You can also select and drag the UCS icon origin grip directly to a new location,
or choose Move Origin Only from the origin grip menu. For more information,
see To define a new UCS origin using the origin grip.
Face
TIP You can also select and drag the UCS icon (or choose Move And Align from
the origin grip menu) to dynamically align the UCS with faces.
Dynamically aligns the UCS to a face on a 3D object.
Move the cursor over a face to see a preview of how the UCS will be aligned.
