dview twist

what is the new command for dview (twist) in autocad 2007 LT?

[ReMark]

DView command missing - AutoCAD LT 2007.

Straight from AutoDesk:

"Because of increased perspective support within the product, the DVIEW command was removed from AutoCAD LT® 2007. To work around this limitation, you can change the user coordinate system (UCS) to the angle you want, and then use the PLAN command to rotate the viewport."

Does this help?

[ktlandscapearchitect]

Thanks for the response.
Do you mean to simply rotate the drawing?

[lpseifert]

No...don't rotate the drawing. Use the UCS command to create a new user coordinate system, usually rotating around the Z axis (although I use the Object option mostly). The use the Plan command to "twist" the drawing to get the new Y axis pointing up the screen. Your World UCS coordinates will be maintained this way.

Thank you, I'll give it a try!

They got rid of the DVIEW command?! Geez, I wonder at the financial loss of every business that vainly tries to keep "current"! (hardware, software, learning curve, etc) This has probably been discussed, but every time I see another yearly "improvement" to Autocad, I get angry:x Sorry in advance for hijacking the thread.
