Add 'User Origin' and 'Geo-referencing' options to Saved View and Export Settings.

Question

Revit has 'True North' and 'Project North'.  It also has 'Project Coordinates' and 'Shared Coordinates'.

 

These relate to the 'internal origin' and 'user origin' in Vectorworks.

 

It is essential we have an option to export DWG and IFC relative to the internal or user origin, like Revit, and also be able to activate either via the saved view options.

 

Remember it is more reliable working in 3D close to the internal origin, but not necessarily so reliable working with a user origin.  Like Revit we need a simple way to move between 'internal' and 'global' coordinates, that does not involve using the User Origin command.  Once set the two coordinate systems should be interchangeable via a saved view, as we do with 'True North' and 'Project North'.

 

We also need to be able to export relative to 'rotate plan', and 'top/plan' views, so if a saved view establishes 'Project North' Vectorworks should export as rotated.
