Toolbar: UCS –
Command line: UCSZAXIS

Setting UCS by the positive direction of Z axis: the coordinate origin of UCS moves to the first specified point, the positive direction of Z axis passes through the second specified point

Command prompts:

Specify new origin point or [Object] <0,0,0>	Enter the coordinates of UCS origin or indicate its position by cursor.
Specify point positive of Z-axis :	Specify point positive of Z-axis.

New Origin and Rotation Angle for UCS
