Can you rotate the WUCS?
I would like to rotate the WUCS in MS. I do not want to rotate the dwg entities themselves as I am using an Ordnance Survey base map and do not want to lose o mess up the coordinates. In effect I'd like the north to point to the right rather than to the top of the drawing (i.e. rotate the X and Y axis by 90 degrees - NOT use a different a different view as I'm working in 2D). In AutoCad, you simply right clicked on the UCS icon and selected 'rotate UCS' but I cannot find a way/command to replicate this in BricsCad.

You can have any direction you like as current ucs, the real world will still be there if needed.
The simplest for 90 would be draw a vertical line dont snap 3d points, then UCS OB, you will see the cross hairs change, if you want to draft in this mode type Plan. I would also do UCS S yourucsname. This way at any time you want real world co-ords do UCS W, you can type plan. You can get any UCS you have saved by using UCS R yourUCSname. We did road design so layout plan view were always rotated. Setout was in real world co-ords.
Ps Create layouts following pline.lsp0 -
Try making a square in 2D touch the edges and use USC in quad. Different edges different rotations.
Rotate the square try again.0
