Change UCS Orientation with View

[bradg]

Hello all,

I'm sure this is probably a simple check box toggle somewhere, but I'm not sure where its located.

When I used to use AutoCAD 2004 to draft in 3D, the UCS axes would change when I changed the view. That is, when I was using the Top view, X would point right, Y up, and Z straight out of the screen, and when I would change to a Front view, the UCS would rotate as well, so that X was once again pointing right, Y up, and Z out of the screen (instead of keeping the Top orientation, which would have made Z point up and Y point into the screen).

Now that I'm using AMEP 2009, this doesn't happen anymore, it always keeps the top orientation, no matter which view I'm in. I'd like to change it back so that the UCS rotates when I change the view. Anyone know how to do this?

Maybe Autodesk has removed this feature since 2004 (I hope not), or maybe AMEP doesn't support this feature, who knows.

Thanks in advance,
Brad

UCSFOLLOW=1 maybe?

Thanks for the reply lpseifert, UCSFOLLOW didn't quite do the trick though.

The command (incase anyone else is interested) is UCSORTHO = 1 (answered in another forum).

My ucsortho is set to 1, and it doesn't follow my viewport. When I change views, for a split second I can see the ucs icon change, then it goes back to the standard X,Y icon. :?
