    Default Attribute Extraction relative to current (not World) ucs

    We are using LT but it happens in full version too.

    Using attribute extraction (either by the wizard in full version or a template txt file in LT) you are able to get the x and y insertion coordinates for a block. Which is great for setting out eastings and northings for the contractor on site to set out from.

    However, it will only give the x and y points relative to 'World' ucs and not your current or named ucs which happens to be current?

    Is there a setting somewhere I have missed to alter this or should I put this on the wish list?

    Thanks in advance.

    It should be added to the wishlist.

    All object locations are stored using the WCS. So that is the only data the extraction wizard has to work with. I'm certain an option could be added to change the display to the current UCS. However, note that it could never deal with multiple UCS's.
