There\u2019s one thing all CAD drafters have in common. At some point, we’re all beginners. One of the first things we learned about was the Cartesian coordinate system<\/a>. Y was up, X was across, and 0,0 was your origin point \u2013 and always in the lower left. AutoCAD called this the World Coordinate System (WCS)<\/a>, and it gave you a visual cue via a simple icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we beginners soon found that as neat and tidy as the WCS was, the \u201cWorld\u201d didn\u2019t always play nicely. It\u2019s always shooting off in angles that don\u2019t match our default directions. Or does it? As physical residents of this world, all we have to do to make it all right again is to realign ourselves to match these angles. We can do the same thing in AutoCAD by redefining the WCS into a user-defined coordinate system, or UCS for short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, back in my learning days, setting up a UCS<\/a> was a bit convoluted and painful. After much evolution, we have a much easier way today. Yes, you can still issue the UCS command and choose options via the command line or dynamic input box, but that can still be rather clunky and sometimes give you results you don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That simple UCS icon is now an actual object that you can manipulate with modern grips and popup menus. Let\u2019s look at a real-world example of how easy it is to use in your 2D drafting tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aligning the UCS With Angles in Your Drawing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s use AutoCAD\u2019s Floor Plan Sample drawing as our test subject. As you can see, the office labeled 6100 fits nicely into our World Coordinate System. But Jamie, Lars, and Cara\u2019s offices don\u2019t. We have some design work to do around their offices, so it would be nice to be able to draw at those angles easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"UCS<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Time for the modern UCS icon to come to our rescue. Remember how I said it was an actual object? Just click on it, and you\u2019ll see its grips light up. Like other multi-functional grips<\/a>, hovering over them will display a contextual menu of their capabilities \u2013 with the top one being the default action. We want to move it and then align it to one of the lines defining Jamie\u2019s office, so we can click the square grip (it turns red, as it is now the \u201chot\u201d grip<\/a>) and drag it up and onto Jamie\u2019s outer wall. Remember, the UCS is an object that reacts to Object Snaps<\/a>, so make sure to use them during this operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that the icon is attached to the wall, our next step is to align it. This is easy also. Click on the round grip at the end of the X axis and drag it down until you snap onto the line to which we move the icon. That\u2019s it! You\u2019ve done it! Notice that if you have the grid turned on, it too will reflect the new orientation, as does Orthomode<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you can complete your design work around the offices with ease. When you\u2019re done and want to return the icon to its default World setting, you just need to hover over the square grip and select World from the popup menu. The icon will reposition itself and return to its default position in the lower left corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give It a Try!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, dear experienced user, there\u2019s more to the UCS command than I\u2019ve described. But for those who are closer to beginners than veterans, I wanted to show them how easy it is to use in their 2D drawings. Perhaps I\u2019ll return to the subject and how easy it is to use in a 3D environment (although slightly different).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the next time you find yourself needing to draw at angles other than the default X, Y system, click on the UCS icon and see for yourself how easy it is to redefine it. You\u2019ll become more accurate and efficient, quickly becoming more productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
