Cplane 0 0 0 confusion

Hello all.

I have an object in my world coordinate system. It’s imported from another program and offest and rotated a bit from the center of the WCS. I do not want to move it. I set up a new CPlane to the center of that object, So now my grid match up nicely with the object.

However.. if I create any new object… let’s say a cube, and I’ve created it a bit off to the side. Now I want to move it to the 0 0 0 of the Cplane. I type in 0 0 0 in the box edit and it moves way off somewhere else.

I have the pivot location to use gumball and the Use Current Cplane. This seems to not work. however if I change it to use bounding box and all Center check boxes. It works fine. I thought the gumball center pivot should work?

actually I am not a BoxEdit User ;-(

but to distribute to this discussion - let s use this “Ab” Text object.

Actually i also do not understand, why the Position-Values do not change if i switch between world CPlane and current Cplane

Well, glad to know it’s not just me. :slight_smile:

thanks for reporting
