crosshair rotated by mistake

[jmchl]

Hi!

 

The cursor cross hair has been rotated by mistake and I don't know how I could put it back straight (as default).

What is the command to rotate the cross hair?

If I want to draw an object on a 30 degres angle, how can I set the cross hair to 30 degres etc.?

 

thanks!

Joe

In one drawing, the crosshair has been rotated by mistake and I don't know how I could put it back straight (as default).

What is the command to rotate the cross hair?

Type in UCS then W for world, that should set you back to normal

 

you can use the UCS command to rotate the crosshairs anyway you need, if you are in plan view you would rotate it by the Z-axis such as UCS Z use negative numbers to rotate clockwise, or positive numbers for counter-clockwise.

Command: _ucs

and choose W (World) to return to default set.

 

If you want the axis rotated after _ucs you choose Z and enter the rotation angle you want

To rotate the crosshair, you must use UCS. Check the help files if your not familiar with them.

And please... next time post your question 1 time

SNAPANG is also a possibility - that only rotates the crosshairs and not the UCS.

[Strix]

ahhh, I don't think anybody mentioned that when I asked about it a couple of months back

 

What does SNAPANG do then?

 

Bookmarking for FAQ btw

SNAPANG jusr rotates the crosshairs and not the ucs or anything else....or...don't know if the Polar Tracking rotates - can't check right now.

yes. Try to change to World ucs or snapang variable.

I had the same problem but none of the above helped (using vanilla AutoCAD 2014)

 

 

My solution, for future posterity:

 

PLAN > Enter > Enter

[ANFAL]

write ucs in the command panel and choose view option 

[paulmcz]

(defun c:saa (/ a)
  (princ "\ New ortho angle or 2 points: ")
  (setq a   (getangle))
  (if a
    (setvar "snapang" a)
    (setvar "snapang" 0))
  (princ)
  )

Try to run this code. On the prompt, press Enter.
