richard3009 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 How do I put a rotated drawing back to level, I would like to do it using 2 pick points on a line I want to be horizontal Quote
MSasu Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Please check the Reference option of ROTATE command. Regards, Mircea Quote
eldon Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I usually use the Rotate command with Ortho enabled. When it asks for the rotation angle or [Reference], pick both ends of your line for the Reference, and it will rotate immediately to horizontal because of the Ortho effect. Quote
richard3009 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 ok what do i do when it asks for a reference angle and where do I pick my base point Quote
eldon Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 The base point is one end of your line, and the reference angle is from the same end of the line as the base point, to the other end of the line. Quote
MSasu Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 You can find here a detailed tutorial on using the Reference option. Regards, Mircea Quote
richard3009 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 thanks the ortho method works a treat Quote
MSasu Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 By the way, are you sure that your model is rotated? May be useful to check your UCS and call PLAN command to ensure that is not only a view issue before rotate the model. Regards, Mircea Quote
