Rotated Viewport

[Skeeps]

Hello there! Quick question,
I'm running Autocad Lt 2004 I have a building that wants to be viewed at 1/50 at A0 thing is it's too big but can I draw in model space my building then in paper space create a viewport that is rotated so I can fit it all on.
I'm just trying to avoid rotating the building in model space as the I'll have to keep rotating it back everytime I need to edit it.
Just rotating the viewport doesn't work it still shows the building vertically instead of horizontally.

do you reckon it's yet another downside to not owning full Autocad?

You can't rotate a viewport but I believe you can rotate the view therein. Double click into your viewport type DV enter, twist/ 90deg (or whatever). That should do it. It's a long while since I've seen an LT version but I believe it's in there (DVIEWBLOCK). In MSPACE it rotates the whole enviroment, in PSPACE it just rotates the view (twists is a more accurate expression). I might be wrong perhaps you can let me know.

G'Day Skeeps....

Another way is to create a UCS.....

1. Activate viewport
2. UCS -> New -> Z -> enter rotation angle
3. View menu -> 3dviews -> plan view -> current UCS
4, Reset scale
