Differentiate Between Ucs And Wcs In Autocad



If you use an AutoCAD based product for 3D work you will have to consider using the UCS to change views to work on the model.

A common question from AutoCAD users when using the UCS is:
”Is there a method to have the UCS command always default to either TOP or WORLD regardless of what view is selected from VIEW TAB?”

This solution was by AutoCAD Test Development’s Chris Miller.

After the UCS is made current, you draw in it just as you draw in the WCS. Although originally intended for 3D work, a UCS can be useful on either two dimensions or three. The WCS assumes that the north direction is straight up, but you may be working on a building layout where one wing is at a 37.8 degree angle to the other. UCS Advantages a) It is easy to correctly orient AutoCAD text and dimensions. A) When the UCS is set to something other than the world coodinate system (WCS), creating and defining Softdesk alignments, dtm’s, pipes, etc. Will result in inaccurate and bogus Softdesk data.

Solution:
If you switch to the AutoCAD Ribbon’s View tab and cycle through the views on the Views panel (Right, Back NE Isometric, etc.) you’ll see the UCS changes with each view.
