Set UCS Origin in Model + All layouts

[3dwannab]

Hi all.

 

I've looked pretty much everywhere for a solution.

 

I basically what to show the UCS at its origin, just like the command UCSICON>OR>ENTER but for all spaces.

 

I can go this route but this means iterating through all the layouts.

 

(foreach
	itm
		(append '("Model") (layoutlist))
		(setvar "ctab" itm)
		(command "._ucsicon" "ORIGIN")
		)

 

Would there be a vla-put method for this?

In the vlide type in vla-put-ucs then hit CNTRL+SHIFT+SPACE and you will get a list of available commands. Then HERE is an example of how to use it and a thread HERE to refer to .. I'd think you'd still have to iterate all the layouts though.

Thanks @ronjonp,

 

When I run that EXAMPLE_UCSICONATORIGIN I get an ERROR.

error: Automation Error. No active viewport in paperspace

Also, I did pop by that other thread but never got it to work.

 

Maybe it's connected to the error I'm getting.

 

I've attached a file that I'm testing on where the UCS is not at 0,0.

UCS not at origin.dwg

(command "mspace")
		(command "._ucsicon" "ORIGIN")

At a guess to use the vl method need to get currentspace. the second or 2 v's time to test code ??

Think you're referring to the Viewports in the layout tabs.

 

It's the layout tab UCS I'm referring to.
