Setting an UCS to a Polyline

[djahnke]

I know this is probably dumb question and I should know the answer to it, but I'll ask it anyway. When I create a multi line polyline how come when I UCS object it ucs's to the angle of the starting line?

Try UCS, E for entity. AutoCAD will choose the nearest vertex from th epoint selected.

What do you mean by "UCS"ing an object??

[djahnke]

The option within the ucs toolbar where it allows you to change your ucs to that of the given direction of an object within a drawing. Which allows you to draft along the same angle as said object.

To create a UCS other than world, type UCS, then E for entity. the new UCS will align it's positive x-axis to the object selected.

Technically, one should type "OB" for object. "E" for entity is a hangover and could be programmed out in future releases.

Just FYI.
