Project to UCS

Project to UCS displays a curve's 'shadow' in a different coordinate system. Projecting to UCS creates a new curve in the selected UCS, but does not affect the original.

This method assumes that you are projecting a curve from one UCS to the one you are currently in.

  1. Select Construct tab > Curves panel > From Curves > Project to UCS to display the Project to UCS dialog.
  2. Optionally enter a curve name in the Name field, or leave the default name.
  3. Select the curve you want to use from the Curve menu, or click the Pick Curve button and select it in the graphics window.
  4. Select the UCS from the list.
  5. Select the plane you want to project the curve to from YZ Plane, XZ Plane, or XY Plane.
  6. Click OK.
