Can you confirm whether the UCS changes with view
direction in the standalone version of 2012. The Autocad
version has a viewcube.
For example I try to run a plan GA. I set the UCS to top
of steel then to select the steel I change the view to right
and do a crossing selection of the steel. When I look at
the GA I end up with an elevation. I figured out a work
around - however I don't see a reason for the UCS to
change to the current view direction. This does not
happen in the Autocad version. I note the UCS in the
standalone version does not change if I were to select
an ISO view.
