    From the AutoCAD 2009 Help file.

    "You can rotate an entire view within a layout viewport by changing the UCS and using the PLAN command."

    Is this what you are referring to?

    Also from AutoCAD Help.

    "For a faster method, use the Align and then Rotate View options in the MVSETUP command."

    You're entirely welcomed Dave.

    DVIEW, TWist is another method although I prefer the UCS and PLAN commands.

    I would tend to use MVSETUP to this, using the UCS option with the plan rotation is also an effective way but if its simply for a one off view you can avoid the need for creating a new UCS using MV.

    Just an extra 10 seconds worth when you set your ucs also do a S (save) give it a name then you change any view at will Ucs R name Plan.

    Jump back to world Ucs R World optional "plan"

    Changing your model view makes drawing text easier we then jump back to world when doing true survey co-ords but dont necessarily do a "plan" hope that makes sense.

    Also not limited to one ucs eg Road1 Road2 etc curvey road had 15 ucs's so would align best on sheets.
