Chapter  3  Viewing  and  Displaying  Three-Dimensional  Models  59  UCS  Settings  The  UCS  shortcut  menu  in  the  view  cube  lists  the  WCS  and  the  names  of  all  named  UCSs  in  the  current  drawing.  If  there  are  no  named  UCSs,  the  listing  is  WCS  and  New  UCS.  See  Figure  3-11A.  To  create  a  new  UCS,  pick  New  UCS  from  the  shortcut  menu.  Next,  use  the  appropriate  UCS  command  options  to  create  the  new  UCS.  See  Chapter  4  for  complete  coverage  of  the  UCS  command.  As  new  UCSs  are  created  and  saved,  their  names  are  added  to  the  UCS  shortcut  menu.  See  Figure  3-11B.  Now,  if  you  wish  to  work  on  the  model  using  a  specifi  c  UCS,  simply  select  it  from  the  list.  The  UCS  is  then  restored.
