Rotate An Entire Drawing??

[studiorat]

Hey all, Happy Holidays to all
I have a Drawing in LDD2004 it was converted from microstation v8 to LDD 2004 now in microstation it is rotated correctly it is horizontal as if you are looking at it on a print however, when in cadd it is rotated at a 45 degree plus or minus making it difficult at best to plot I am not using viewports there is no need I will plot from ms at 40 scale.. Is there a way to rotate the entire dwg on the x axis till it is correctly situated i tried ucs rotate but it went counterclockwise I assume i can change the rotation to clockwise but I do not know how can some one offer some tips??? thanx in advance

I use UCS...

draw a line on the orientation of the printed page (target angle)
UCS> Ob> (select the line)
Then use PLAN> Current ucs> to rotate the view...

Many other ways though.
Dview> TWist...

I don't rememer what the '04 plot setup looks like, but check that the "fit to paper" is not checked...?

Do we have a FAQ for rotating drawings? there seem to be many different scenarios where this is required, and a handful of useful commands and methods to solve the problem
