UCS in Autocad 2006

UCS (User Coordinate System) is a command to rotate the UCS in accordance with the axis and direction. To rotate the UCS on the X axis, when the value of a positive angle inserted will cause the UCS rotates towards the outer. Whereas if a negative value will cause the UCS rotates inward.

See image below for UCS rotation to the axis X.

If the value is positive, UCS rotation direction of axis Y will rotate inward, and a negative value will rotate outwards.

See image below for UCS rotation to the axis Y.

When we draw in 3D, UCS is a key command that you have to learn. The Z axis is for the depth of your modelling. Spend time to practise how the UCS work, it will hard at the beginning but as soon as you figure it out how it work, you will be fine. Add the UCS toolbar on your Autocad viewport so you can play with it.

If you have question, feel free to ask me :)
