Can you tell me why My Delta X is off? My first line, referred to in the instructions on page 5 as POB, starts at this point and will extend up and slightly to the left which is equivalent to a direction of northwest actually goes back to left, not up.

Command: DDUNITS

Delta X = -113.14, Delta Y = -10.81, Delta Z = 0.00

If your line is pointing in the wrong direction it's possible you have the direction of North set incorrectly in UNITS.

 

See posts #4, 5, 6 and 7 of this thread (the one you are currently posting to) on how to get started with this project.

I don't think that I do. Here is a snip of my UNITS. it shows the direction of the line behind it, then I also included a snip of my boundary layer which

is also in wrong direction.

maybe these two will help.

[Hondatek]

and this one sorry double pic on last post.

[Hondatek]

need more help let us know. i just finished this.

[ReMark]

For the line to be drawn correctly 0 degrees should be to the east, 90 degrees would then be north, 180 degrees would be west and 270 degrees would be south.

[sjsmith]

I really appreciate the help. I am just struggling with this part, I hope once I get it figured out it will go smooth. Where do I go to set the degrees for E, N, W, S. I even tried to start a new project to see if I had settings wrong, and I had the same result. I am sure I am something wrong, I just don't know where. thanks in advance.

[ReMark]

It bears repeating, start by looking at posts #4 through 7 of THIS thread. That will get you started in the right direction figuratively speaking.

[sjsmith]

I will go back and look at those again. I thought I followed them correctly, but must not have. thanks

[ReMark]

Sure thing. I'll stand by to await your response.

[sjsmith]

got it. I had changed base direction to N, instead of leaving it at E. Thank You very much. looks much better now.. thanks again.

[sjsmith]

looks much better. thanks again. I am going to see what I can do now on my own, but will probably be back.

[ReMark]

Glad to hear. OK...carry on. Good luck.

[Hondatek]

how's the the drawing coming?

[sjsmith]

Almost done. Working on the trim layer now.

[Hondatek]

OK I POSTED my finished Olsen village project check it before you submit it to PF.

[sjsmith]

Just wanted to say Thank You all for all the help from this forum. I got 100%.

[Hondatek]

Awesome, get ready to pull your hair out on the next project. read it twice before you start and get a high lighter ready.
