Rotation of drawings in vieport without model rotation

Hi.

I want to rotate a drawing in my paper space, but without rotating it in model space. So that I still can work on it easily in model space.

Thank you.

I don't know much about LT, but I assume it has DVIEW. If so, you can use use DVIEW > TWist within your viewport.

If you want to rotate the model but keep your crosshair orientation, use UCS > Z to rotate the UCS about the Z-axis, then use PLAN > Current (also within the viewport)

Take a look at this re: VPROTATEASSOC....

Thank you very much. This is what I was searching for.

I would reccomend MVSETUP and then follow the prompts.

Why would you use Mvsetup with 2012 when you can simply rotate the viewport with vprotateassoc set to 1?

This is the method I use the most with great results. Just sayin'.

Each to his/her own devices.

Been around awhile.

If the view port is other than square or round, MVSETUP can be useful. >>>>I go both ways

You guys are amazing. You were answering a lot of my posted questions very fast and very detailed. How are you doing this? Do you read each new thread?

Thanks a lot!
