Understanding UCS (Part 1)

Daily Autocad: "User Coordinate System (UCS) is a must-know for 3D user’s of AutoCAD. Whenever you start a new drawing in AutoCAD, you are met by a World Coordinate System (WCS) [of course, unless you have a different setting in your template. This coordinate system has its origins as 0,0,0 and XY plane as paralell to the earth's surface."

This article is actually very helpful in the application of the ucs, to draw a rectangle at a certain angle. I could there could be a lot of saved UCSs very quickly especially in a very complicated drawing. This will certainly help me with the 3d CAD project and applications of AutoCAD in the future.
