Problem

Coordinates of a dwg are correct in MicroStation, but not in AutoCAD.

Product: MicroStation V8.1
Version: 08.01.02.15
Area: DWG

MicroStation is displaying coordinates in World coordinates, AutoCAD is
displaying using a User Coordinate System (UCS)

To correct in AutoCAD,go to

Tools>Named UCS

In UCS dialog under Named UCSs

select World
select Set Current,

then select OK.

In version V8.5, setting was added to the Save As DWG Options that will prevent UCS from being used and
will force World coordinate system.

In the Save As Options, turn off Set UCS from ACS, and the coordinates should coincide in both MicroStation
and AutoCAD.
