AutoCAD 2009 UCS issues

[mockdeep]

I'm having issues drawing in plan in AutoCAD 2009. I have flattened and superflattened my drawing repeatedly but I keep having problems. I will be drawing something and I find that it won't snap to intersection as if the objects are out of plane with each other. I flatten again and it works. Today I tried the TORIENT command to rotate attributes but it told me the block was not aligned with the current UCS. The UCS is set to world. Any suggestions?

Just a thought. How far away from 0,0 are you? I know being too far from the origin has had it's "issues". I experienced a little of this behavior in a drawing last week using 2008. Maybe I need in investigate this a bit.

I'm actually pretty close to the origin in all of my drawings and x-ref's (all of which have been flattened). The shell/site plan x-ref is rotated, though I don't see why that would affect anything.

I know. I just checked the drawing I mentioned earlier and it's the same way. I do know that I was getting rogue linework with a positive "Z" value. Still haven't figured out how it's happening. All I know is for whatever reason it's always 9 7/8". It's got me baffled. I even asked the person who created the sheet if he's done anything screwey with the UCS.

If you disable the Dynamic UCS does it still happen?

what is plinetype set to? what is osnapz set to?

I'll give it a try and let you know.

plinetype is set to 2 and osnapz is 0.

[ccowgill]

what if you changed osnapz to 1, would it fix your problem?

Just in case - check the setting ELEVATION.
