Changing UCS inside viewport
Changing UCS inside viewport
(OP)
Hey everyone
i'm working with Acad 14,i'm in paperspace working inside a viewport. I'm trying to rotate the UCS so i can do a profile of a strip of land. Now, i just got done doing the same thing to a different drawing and it worked fine. But on this particular file i type in:
MVSETUP
--ALIGN
----ROTATE
-------then i type my desired angle
instead of going to the desired rotation it zooms extent and won't let me rotate at all.
I hope i explained well enough, any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
Juice

Set your UCS such that its orientation is Y towards where you want the top of the screen to be and X is towards where you want the right of the screen to be.
At the command line, type PLAN
It will default to current UCS, so press enter.
Finally, if it makes sense to do so, change your UCS to PREVIOUS.
Hope this helps.
