Problem with the offset comand when using UCS

Riccardo's Photo Riccardo 12 Jan 2022

Hi! i'm using Nanocad Scan, but that problem (may be a bug?) is still present even in the newest version of nanocad.

When i'm using UCS the "offset" comand is not working properly, let me explain: in fact the comand is working, but offset the line in a different plane.

How can i use the offset comand when i'm using UCS?

Tried to repeat.
1. Holding down SHIFT + mouse scroll wheel rotated world coordinate system.
2. Called "UCS" command and selected "View" option in command line.
This allowed me to setup my UCS based on current view.
3. Drew a line about 150 mm.
4. Called "OFFSET" command.
5. Specified distance = 50, selected object = drawn line and specified point on side to offset.
6. Called "UCS" again and selected "World", it appeared in a view, I'd rotated previously.
7. Clicked "TOP" view on locator to get back to only two dimensions view.
8. Set dimension between lines, it shows 39.04.
Seems normal.
Can you, please describe more to understand where is the problem?
