    Default X & Y Coordinate Block with Fields and UCS Systems

    Hi AUGI Members,

    I created a block containing 2 attributes with fields to read the X & Y coordinates of the blocks insert point (see attached block). This block works fine in the World UCS system and alternate UCS systems created on the drawing. However, I have encountered a problem when the block is used on drawings that contain multiple UCS systems which is common on many of our projects. For Example......lets say we have the "World" UCS system and 2 alternate UCS systems I will call UCS "A" and UCS "B" and these blocks inserted in all of these UCS systems. When the block is inserted in the "A" UCS system the coordinates initially display correctly and when the block is inserted in the "B" UCS system the coordinates initially display correctly but after they are placed on the drawing......all of the blocks will only display the coordinates of the "current" UCS system.

    How can I get the coordinate display for the blocks inserted in each coordinate system ("World" - "A" - "B") to only display the coordinate values for the corresponding UCS system they were inserted under.


    Thank you in advance for your assistance..!!

    Vince
