How do I rotate a complete view??
How do I rotate a complete view??
(OP)
I use CAD 14). I have a drawing, two adjoined buildings. One of the buildings is orthogonal (in plan), the other building is skewed at 24 degrees to the vertical. TO work on the skewed building I have to go to UCS and pick "object" and click on a line rotated to the building skew, so the cursur will rotate to the building skew (VERY AWKWARD!!!). How do I rotate the whole "drawing" to appear orthogonal?? (rather than rotate the cursor). I know it can be done but I dont know how???
HELP!!
HELP!!

Another option is use the DVIEW command to TWIST the view to the proper angle to provide and orthagonal view of the skewed portion.
RE: How do I rotate a complete view??
One option you could use in Model Space is the VPORTS command to split your screen into 2 or more pieces in different arrangements. You can independently DView each window to have them oriented as you like. This setup is typically used by folks working in 3d, but I occasionally find it useful for situations as you suggest.
Personally, I never change the UCS, but that is primarily due to the type work I do (Civil Engineering) because it causes havoc when making and inserting blocks. DView is much simpler for my use.
