How can I input the coordinates as same as Autocad?

Rhino Rhino for Windows

In the Autocad have .x, .y, .xy , etc , and than pick point. How can do it in rhino, thank you!

Hi -
I don’t have Auticad but Rhino has .x, .y, .xy, etc. filters. Are the different in any way?

In this case, how can I?

4
  • Select your object
  • Start the Move command
  • Pick point A
  • type “.xy” in the command line
  • Pick point A again
  • type 0,0,0 and Enter at the command line or click on any point that is at Z0

It will use the XY coordinates of point A with the Z coordinates of what you typed or clicked
(it’s pretty cumbersome though)

5
  • Select your object
  • Start the Move command
  • Pick point A
  • type “.xy” in the command line
  • Pick point A again
  • type 0 ← z-level value

In the Autocad worked, but not worked on the rhino

Yes, seems to be a limitation of this particular function. You have to type all three coordinates 0,0,0 - typing 0 doesn’t work.

7

if I type 0,0,0, then point A move to 0,0,0, not .xy , z0 …

8

No, it moves to x,y,0 (assuming you followed the procedure exactly)

Why I type it v5, v6, v7, there aren’t work on all ? :disappointed_relieved:

ok, worked ! many thanks you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

This problem has bothered me for years :sweat_smile:

FWIW, in your specific case:

  • Select the objects
  • Run Move
  • Type v for vertical
  • Snap to A
  • Type 0

I was going to post this as well, but I forgot…

For this stuff I mostly use scripts.

I also use script many years, but I want to know that, why not? :thinking:
