Use Coordinates and Coordinate Systems | 223
■ Rotate the current UCS around any of its axes.
■ Restore a saved UCS.
Once you have defined a UCS, you can name it and then restore it when you
need to use it again. The Prev option of the UCS command sequentially
restores up to 10 previous coordinate systems used in the current session. If
you no longer need a named UCS, you can delete it. Also, you can restore the
UCS to be coincident with the WCS.
To define a new UCS origin
1 From the Tools menu, choose New UCS. Then choose Origin.
2 Specify a point for the new origin.
The 0,0,0 coordinate is redefined at the point you specify.
