    Label Coordinates and auxiliary coordinate systems

    AskInga logo

    Original Tip Date: April 2005

    Updated:  December 2009, July 2010

       

    In MicroStation V8, a change was made to the Label Coordinates tool so that when a rotated ACS is applied, it would use the coordinates of the ACS rather than the default design plane coordinates.

    To label your coordinates using the default coordinate system (rather than the active ACS) use the following keyin: label useacs toggle

    In MicroStation V8i, the keyin is no longer available. Instead, select and set the active ACS via the Drawing Scale dialog. The Label Coordinates tool will then use whatever ACS is active.

    NOTE:  The Label Coordinates tool does not provide the ability to label latitude and longitude coordinates.

    The graphic below is from MicroStation V8i.
