Measuring in RS

msalminen

Hi,

In which coordinate system the measuring (point to point) distances (x,y,z) are given? Are they always in world coordinate system or in UCS?

Is it possible to change to the desired coordinate system someway?

Regards,

Mika

Sorry I was a little to quick with my first answer.

But It uses the coordinate system, that is specified in the lower right corner(UCS: Station by default)

you can select any coordinate system and select it as the UCS(User coordinate system). It will then use that coordinate system to measure in.

Since the distance is given as a 3D scalar, it does not matter which coordinate system you use.

I am not interested the distance itself, but the x,y,z components and they directions... for that I need to know in which coordinate system they are given and can it be changed to get desired "subdistances".
