Summary
The GT_FIXUCS command in GeoTools is used to correct lines and polylines that were created in a non-parallel UCS, bringing them back to the World Coordinate System (WCS) while maintaining their position. This ensures uniformity across CAD drawings in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.

Fix Line/Polylines with Different UCS: GT_FIXUCS – GeoTools Command
Key Features Include:
- Correct UCS Misalignment:
- Converts lines and polylines drawn in different UCS orientations back to the WCS without altering their geometry.
- Layer Placement Options:
- Source – Places the corrected polyline in its original layer.
- Current – Places the corrected polyline in the active layer.
- Specify – Allows the user to select a custom layer.
- Delete Original Objects:
- Option to remove the original polylines after correction.
- Layer Selection Interface:
- Displays the selected layer name and provides a dialog box to choose the target layer.
Benefits:
This tool is essential for CAD professionals working with multi-UCS drawings, ensuring consistency and accuracy when integrating geometry across different coordinate systems.
