Defining a local co-ordinate system of a node

The procedure for the definition of a local co-ordinate system of a node
  1. Use the UCS Manager to create a new user co-ordinate system. Define the co-ordinate system in such a way so that its axes are oriented in the direction required for the orientation of the local co-ordinate system of the nodes.

  2. Make sure that no entities are selected. If necessary, clear the selection.

  3. Select the node (or nodes) where the local co-ordinate system should be applied.

  4. In the property dialogue (that opens in the property window) tick option LCS.

  5. The dialogue then offers a list of defined user co-ordinate systems.

  6. Select the UCS that is adequate for the selected nodes. That means the UCS whose axes are oriented in direction of the intended local co-ordinate system of the node or nodes.

  7. Clear the selection
