3dorbit and UCS problem

[salty_dogs]

Are there any lisp or arx routines out there that keep the world z-axis vertically on the screen when the current ucs is something other than in the world position?

 

I know the 'orbit maintain z' option, but this doesnt work if the ucs is set vertically or some other position.

 

If you've used rhino, you know what I'm asking for. orbiting should be able to maintain vertical lines without twisting no matter where the construction plane is.

ok: i guess no one knows what im talking about. does anyone model surfaces in autocad? ever change the ucs? ever orbit around the model with the ucs aligned to a vertical surface? what happens? the view goes bullshit twisty! fucking stupid program.

Hi

 

To keep the z axis vertical when using orbit, rightclick while in the orbit mode and from the menu select "More" and then tick the "Orbit Maintains Z". This will allow you to orbit the model keeping it upright.

 

Hope this helps
