Hello,

I have watched countless videos on how to rotate a drawing using UCS and then Plan current. This changes the coordinates, as is expected. However, when I do UCS World like all the videos suggest, it doesn’t fix my coordinates back to the original. Instead, my drawing has a whole new set of coordinates. I don’t know why this is happening and I’m getting really frustrated now.

Someone, anyone, please help 🥹🙏

Edit 2: PROBLEM IDENTIFIED!!

What I have established is that when I copy my drawing into a new template, it DOES work how you would expect it to, which means idk what I did in my first template, but somehow I unknowingly messed up my UCS/ORIGIN etc. whatever 😭

Thank you everyone for all your help and suggestions!!!
🙏🙏🙏

Edit 1: This is for a school assignment. So I don’t know much and am still pretty new to AutoCAD. I had the class this morning, but my teacher doesn’t really know much… (he’s not the one that designed the class and made the lecture videos that I used to complete the assignment). He basically just told me to leave it at the rotated angle in model space and change the ucs in the viewport. Which worked, as it didn’t affect the coordinates.

But… if I want to draw things horizontal (in MODEL SPACE) so that it shows up horizontal on the viewport, then that doesn’t really help, because my drawing isn’t horizontal (and they tell us not to draw anything in the viewport).

One thing I think I realized, is that if i use the ucs, leave it on the wrong coordinates while I write my stuff or whatever, and then align 2 known points back to their original coordinates, that should work?? Though now that I’m thinking about it… could that have been what actually messed everything up??
