Rotate drawing in layout tab

Scott Wicklund

I have a project with multiple sheets (layout tabs). How do I rotate the drawing in one without affecting the others?

Hi Scott,

you can do this by rotating your view inside the viewport on your layout. There are a couple of ways to do this:

• Inside the viewport use the UCS command to rotate your ucs about the z axis, then use the PLAN command to align your view to the new ucs.
• Inside the viewport use the DVIEW command, select some of your drawing, then use the TWIST option to rotate your view.

I also have a lisp routine on my website that automates this process, see http://www.cadconcepts.co.nz/viewport-rotate-vpr/
