I am using AutoCAD 2000 Lt which does not have the 'rotatability', for want of a better expression, of full 2000.

It is possible to rotate a drawing using the ucs, to allow different rotated views of a drawing in a number of view ports, whilst keeping the drawing at the same world cordinates? If so, if you can help, please let me know how. Thanks in advance :?

Dan,

Set up viewports in paper space as normal. Then, within each viewport, use your UCS command to rotate the view aligned to an object or about an axis as per your requirements. Ensure that you USCFOLLOW variable is set to 1 prior to rotating about UCS. Then bang away at your scaling as normal. I would turn the UCSFOLLOW back to 0 after completing - just to avoid nasty regens etc.
