mlancepro Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I set my user origin to the end of my object - a long truss. I have light fixtures hanging along that truss. I want to use the label legend to display the x location in relation to the user orgin but its way off. My first light is like 3' away from the end of the truss and the displayed x location for the label legend is like -25' Why don't they match? Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Did you refresh the instrument after moving it? Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 This is an issue with control points -- the display value always offsets from the user origin. I try to avoid user origins whenever possible and move the drawing to the internal origin. Quote Link to comment
Sam Jones Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Josh answered you question, but there are 3rd party plug-ins that will allow you to dimension all selected lights from a user selected point and put the dimension for each light in a user field. This keeps you from having to move the user origin for every position that you want to dimension. AutoPlotTools for Spotlight www.autoplotvw.com Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 what@mlanceprois trying to do works fine with me. I wonder if he inadvertently put the y axis or z axis into the label legend? I have attached the file user origin.vwx Quote Link to comment
