I would appreciate some help.....
My new drawing of a small building has coordinates 0,0 at its bottom left
corner.
I am now trying to xref in a site plan, but the site plan has coordinates of
500,000, 500,000 ish. I think it is based on the UK national grid and my
site is near London
I tried the new - ucs command on the site plan to make it 0,0, but when
xref'd in to my new drawing, the site plan disappeared.
I also tried the AutoCAD help - but I don't know what question to ask!!!!
Thanks in advance
David

 

Zoom Extents. The Xref is just very far from the building.
You will need a method to "register" the two things together correctly.

Thanks to CW and Michael for that - the BASE command worked a treat.
