Quick Reference

To shift the XY plane

1. Click View tabUCS panel3 Point. At the command prompt, enter ucs.
2. Specify an origin point for the new UCS (1).

   For example, in a large drawing, you might specify an origin point near the area in which you want to work.

3. Specify a point to indicate the horizontal orientation of the new UCS (2). This point should be on the positive portion of the new X axis.
4. Specify a point to indicate the vertical orientation of the new UCS (3). This point should be on the positive portion of the new Y axis.

   The UCS, including grid, shifts to represent the X and Y axes you have specified.
