Commands

Set XYZ Coordinates

Set XYZ Coordinates

The SetPt command moves selected points and control points of objects to a specified location in the x, y, and/or z directions.

  • If the entire objects such as curves or surfaces are selected without showing control points, SetPt will move all of the objects’ control points to that location. This may result in a flattening or distortion of the object.
  • This command is often used to accurately change the position of points and control points. It is also a fast way to be sure that a set of planar curves are all in the same plane.

Steps

  1. Select objects.

  2. In the Set Points dialog box, click the check boxes for the coordinates.

  3. Pick a location to match.

    The selected objects will line up with the set point in the direction(s) you chose.

Set Points Options

-Set X/Set Y/Set Z: Aligns objets in the x, y, and z directions.

-Align to World/Align to CPlane: Align with the world or construction plane coordinates.

Command-line option

-Copy: Specifies whether or not the objects are copied.

  • A plus sign appears at the cursor when copy mode is on.
  • Copy=Yes supports History recording.
  • The RememberCopyOptions command determines whether the selected option is used as the default.
