eas Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) We are dealing with some old files that were recently brought into VW 12.5.1. I don't know what they were drawn in, probably VW 10. There are four layers: three at 1:48 and one at 1:1. The 1:48 layers have a different origin point from the 1:1 layer. Is it normal to have different origin points on different layers? It seems like a terrible thing. Currently we are just trying to get these drawing functional so we can finish out the project--they don't have to be an organizational work of art. Understanding this origin thing would be a big help. Edited June 12, 2007 by eas Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The origin point is the same for all layers in the file- it's likely the scale is throwing things off alignment. Perhaps items were drawn after a scale change was made. You can't set an origin point for individual layers - only for the active document. If you flip through the active layers, the origin point remains the same, but the objects probably shift due to the change in ruler size. I would simply move the objects on the 1:1 layer so they are aligned with the objects on the 1:48 scale. Quote Link to comment
