Specifying a Coordinate System for the Plan View

Use the PlanView command to set the plan view to the current coordinate system (the current construction plane), a previously saved Custom Coordinate System (CCS), or the World Coordinate System (WCS).

To specify a coordinate system for the plan view:

1. Type PlanView at the command prompt.
2. Type an option to specify a coordinate system:
   • Active CCS: Sets the plan view to the active coordinate system.
   • CCS: Sets the plan view to a previously saved Custom Coordinate System (CCS). Type the CCS name or specify the ? option to view a list of named coordinate systems.
   • World: Sets the plan view to the World Coordinate System (WCS).

To force the view to set automatically to the plan view whenever the coordinate system changes:

1. Click Tools > Options (or type Options).

   Click Application menu > Preferences (or type Options).

2. In the dialog box, click Drawing Settings .
3. Expand Coordinate System > Options.
4. Select Update view when coordinate system changes.
5. Click OK.
