>0 = Scale factor (a positive real value)
$PUCSBASE 2 Name of the UCS that defines the origin and orientation of
orthographic UCS settings (paper space only)
$PUCSNAME 2 Current paper space UCS name
$PUCSORG 10, 20, 30 Current paper space UCS origin
$PUCSORGBACK 10, 20, 30 Point which becomes the new UCS origin after changing paper
space UCS to ‘BACK’ when PUCSBASE is set to WORLD
$PUCSORGBOTTOM 10, 20, 30 Point which becomes the new UCS origin after changing paper
space UCS to ‘BOTTOM’ when PUCSBASE is set to WORLD
$PUCSORGFRONT 10, 20, 30 Point which becomes the new UCS origin after changing paper
space UCS to ‘FRONT’ when PUCSBASE is set to WORLD
$PUCSORGLEFT 10, 20, 30 Point which becomes the new UCS origin after changing paper
space UCS to ‘LEFT’ when PUCSBASE is set to WORLD
$PUCSORGRIGHT 10, 20, 30 Point which becomes the new UCS origin after changing paper
space UCS to ‘RIGHT’ when PUCSBASE is set to WORLD
$PUCSORGTOP 10, 20, 30 Point which becomes the new UCS origin after changing paper
space UCS to ‘TOP’ when PUCSBASE is set to WORLD
$PUCSORTHOREF 2 If paper space UCS is orthographic (PUCSORTHOVIEW not equal to
0), this is the name of the UCS that the orthographic UCS is relative
to. If blank, UCS is relative to WORLD
$PUCSORTHOVIEW 70 Orthographic view type of paper space UCS:
0 = UCS is not orthographic;
1 = Top; 2 = Bottom;
3 = Front; 4 = Back;
5 = Left; 6 = Right
$PUCSXDIR 10, 20, 30 Current paper space UCS X axis
$PUCSYDIR 10, 20, 30 Current paper space UCS Y axis
