The following group codes apply to UCS symbol table entries. In addition to the group codes described here, see "Common Group Codes for Symbol Table Entries." For information about abbreviations and formatting used in this table, see "Formatting Conventions in This Reference."
UCS group codes| Group codes | Description |
100 |
Subclass marker (AcDbUCSTableRecord) |
2 |
UCS name |
70 |
Standard flag values (bit-coded values): |
10 |
Origin (in WCS) |
20, 30 |
DXF: Y and Z values of origin (in WCS) |
11 |
X-axis direction (in WCS) |
21, 31 |
DXF: Y and Z values of X-axis direction (in WCS) |
12 |
Y-axis direction (in WCS) |
22, 32 |
DXF: Y and Z values of Y-axis direction (in WCS) |
79 |
Orthographic view type: |
146 |
Elevation |
346 |
ID/handle of base UCS if this is an orthographic. This code is not present if the 79 code is 0. If this code is not present and 79 code is non-zero, then base UCS is assumed to be WORLD. |
71 |
Orthographic type (optional; always appears in pairs with the 13, 23, 33 codes): |
13 |
Origin for this orthographic type relative to this UCS. |
23, 33 |
DXF: Y and Z values of origin point |
Each 71/13,23,33 pair defines the UCS origin for a particular orthographic type relative to this UCS. For instance if the following pair is present, then invoking the UCS/LEFT command when UCSBASE is set to this UCS will cause the new UCS origin to become (1,2,3).
71: 5
13: 1.0
23: 2.0
33: 3.0
If this pair were not present, then invoking the UCS/LEFT command would cause the new UCS origin to be set to this UCS's origin point.
