The icon in the red rectangle is for moving your UCS,play a little bit with these tools,they are pretty important for fast and effective modeling,you will probably need some time to get used to. On this picture my UCS is on the cylindrical surface now,also done by moving UCS to face. You can change the orientation of your axis manually by clicking on them and moving them with blue points. Here I moved my UCS to the face of my model. Here I made UCS parallel to the screen and you can see what happened. The next thing are the icons shown on the picture.The first icon will just make your UCS parallel to the screen no matter which orientation you are on,you can use other two icons to move your UCS (User Coordinate System) to object and a face of the object,they are both similar. It is a little bit clunky but it can be useful in some cases. There is a nice tool on the status bar called Dynamic input UCS and when it is turned on it will allow you snap to face of your model when you move cursor over it and it will allow you to automatically draw on that face without changing view. So what you can is to change you view to TOP,FRONT,RIGHT,LEFT,BOTTOM when you need. Now I am on TOP view,you can see how UCS changed its orientation. You will probably sometimes experience problems when your lines will snap to the points of your 3D model even if you are on the view you want,be careful with that,you can turn off Object Snap and 3D Object Snap when is necessary. On the Toolbar you can find tool palette called Coordinates and here you can find most tools for good orientation while Modeling.You can see that I am now on Front view and you see how my UCS is lined,remember X and Y axis are a plane where your lines can go,Z is the extrusion. Now,your view is TOP on default right?And it represents X,Y axis while Z is the axis of extrusion and as long as you are on TOP you are not able to properly draw on other planes,faces which is probably your problem if you are a beginner and you are not familiar. So here we are,this is a random model I drew so I can use it for better explanation and we are in 3D Modeling Workspace.
HOW TO CHANGE CURSOR COLOR IN AUTOCAD HOW TO
Orientating and Drawing in 3D can be a little misleading if you are a beginner so I will show you how to change views in the next few steps. There are many possible reasons.This tutorial will show you how to change views in AutoCAD when you are drawing a 3D model. Some people like to have the same look and feel to other application they use before. Especially when I need to print my captured images.
But for writing purpose, I need it white. We have our own favorite, for different purpose. What are your favorite settings for MicroStation look and feel? You can change it in the same dialog box. Some people find crosshair at this size gives more convenient and accuracy.
HOW TO CHANGE CURSOR COLOR IN AUTOCAD FULL
You can also change the pointer/crosshair size to full view. Check which element you want to override, then choose the color you want. I can’t see the reason why people want to have pink color as background, but if you do want it, you can define the background color in (2).
In AutoCAD, we can change the background color to any color we want. If you simply want to switch the background to white or black, you can check/uncheck black background –> white. In opened dialog box, choose category view options. So how can we change the settings in MicroStation? Both of them are in menu workspace>preferences. Not only in AutoCAD, but also when they are using other program like MicroStation. Some AutoCAD users also like to have the old settings back. Older AutoCAD has white background (but now it’s almost black) and has full sized crosshair (also not anymore in recent version).
