You can move it all you want. When you ask me to stake your building out in the field, please take no offense when I kick your booday. :pissed: :pissed:
There should be a requirement that ALL Archi types take algebra with great emphasis on plotting equations on an x,y axis. Then someone could whisper to them, "Pssst!! Dude!! it's called coordinate geometry for a reason!!".
Greg , you have asked this question before. Now, I am asking questions and not trying to be ugly or rude. Do you truly not see a problem with moving a project and maybe rotating it to make it fit the sheet better?
I do not mind a dview twist, but a rotation undoes EVERYTHING I have done.
What is the advantage of taking the drawing off of my state plane coordinates and moving them
closed to 0,0"? It does not make the drawing any smaller.
Should you need to use my surface for some of your comps, what happens then ? Surfaces do not move.
If you move the drawing and then I bring in my point file, the two are WAY far apart. I work at N2,000,000. E1,000,000 and you want to work at 0,0. See the problem? You cannot take your drawing and put it back on the ground with any accuracy, especially if you do like most do and leave the "Control Points" at their original location.
That's why the surveyor gets upset. Today, everything we do is based on state plane coordinates from GPS observations. Everything we do is "relative" to all of our other drawings.
Our state regulations require a "positional accuracy" of 0.05'. We work hard and spend a lot of money on equipment to meet that tolerance. When you throw it out the window we get a little peeved.
Mark, I just went and read that article. I have been wokring in State Plane Coordinates mostly since 1988 and nothing but State Plane Coordinates since 1998 and I have not run into any of the problems that they mention in the article. My hatches work fine, The only time the trim command gets squirrely is when I am dealing with polylines that have been spline fit. What am I doing wrong???
