In version 6018 the method UCS of vdCommandAction support a new value 'OBJECT' for first 'org' parameter
In case the org has the string value 'OBJECT' then
the px parameter can be user define (null or 'USER') or an existing vdFigure object.In case of user ,the user will be prompt to select an object on the screen.
the py parameter can be user define (null or 'USER') or a point in Current User Coordinate System
Define a UCS by selecting an object
Object Method of determining UCS
Arc The center of the arc becomes the new UCS origin. The X axis passes through the arc endpoint that is closest to the selection point.
Circle The center of the circle becomes the new UCS origin. The X axis passes through the selection point.
Dimension The insertion point of the dimension text becomes the new UCS origin
Line The endpoint nearest the selection point becomes the new UCS origin. The X axis passes through the other point of the line
Point The point becomes the new UCS origin.
Polyline If the SplineFlag is Standard then the ucs is defined by the picking segment(see Line or Arc).Otherwise the endpoint of the selected segment , nearest the selection point becomes the new UCS origin
3DFace The new UCS origin is taken from the first point, the X axis from the first two points, and the Y positive side from the first and fourth points.
Insert,Text,MText, Attribute , Rect The insertion point of the object becomes the new UCS origin, and the new X axis is defined by the rotation of the object about its extrusion direction.
Ellipse The center point of the object becomes the new UCS origin, and the new X axis is defined by the MajorAngle of the object about its extrusion direction.
Polyhatch The mid point of object bounding box becomes the new UCS origin.
Leader The ucs is defined by the LeaderMtext (see Mtext).
