Rules for using a UCS

There are some rules concerning the use of user co-ordinate system that should be clearly stated here in order to prevent a possible confusion.

UCS in windows

Each graphical window can have a different UCS. The UCS can be assigned to a particular window from the UCS manager.

The procedure for association of a particular graphical window with a particular UCS
  1. Select the graphical window you need to associate with the required UCS.

  2. Open the UCS manager.

  3. Select the required UCS.

  4. Close the UCS manager.

Modification of an existing UCS in the UCS manager

If a UCS is edited in the UCS manager (i.e. edited numerically), the changes are made to the UCS that is being edited.

Modification of an existing UCS by means of modification functions

If a current UCS assigned to a particular window is edited by means of a function for modification of UCS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW that:

If a named user-created UCS was associated with the window before the modification has been performed, that UCS remains unchanged.

If a named user-created UCS should be modified using modification functions, the following procedure must be executed.

The procedure for modification of a named user-created UCS
  1. Use modification function or functions to define the UCS as required.

  2. Call function for storing of the current UCS.

  3. Rewrite the original named user-created UCS with the newly defined one.
