    "Draw Product" resets my UCS

    Ok, I want to draw a peninsula toekick that is oriented perpendicular to a wall - or perpendicular to the World UCS (same difference). So I set a new UCS with the x-axis oriented in the direction I want the toekick to run width-wise...

    but whenever I click the "Draw Product" button, the UCS switches back to World and the toekick is drawn in a direction I don't want it to go.

    I know I can just use the "Rotate a Product" tool, but the item number does not rotate with the product and that really bugs.

    Am I doing something wrong? Right now I was just going to draw polylines for product placement reference, but I was hoping to avoid adding empty drawing elements such as those.

    Never mind. I didn't notice "Product Angle" at the bottom of the Prompts window. Duh. Very easy to do what I want now.

    I'm still curious though if MV always resets to World UCS when drawing products. And, as has been stated in these forums before, I would like to see more functionality with item numbers.
