wsucad Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I want to Rotate a view within a viewport in paperspace without changing the view rotation in model space. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsucad Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 that is exactly what I as looking for. I could not search the help file correctly. THANKS!!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 DVIEW, TWist is another method although I prefer the UCS and PLAN commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD Maestro Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 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.

BIGAL Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
