Rotated worksheet or view?

Anonymous — Wed, 21 May 2008 10:28:10 GMT

I'd like to be able to create a Worksheet which is rotated from the source view. In this case the source view is a plan view. My goal is to take an area that is at an angle in plan and rotate it to horizontal in a Worksheet for ease of labeling, dimensioning, and layout.

Failing this, perhaps it's possible to create Views of the same floor plan that are at different angles? If so, could I use a rotated View as a basis for my Worksheet?

I don't want to rotate my entire project, and I also want to keep the "rebuild from source view" capability that the Worksheet offers.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi, i think that is not possible at AC11... (if you are looking for a "rotate plan" like autocad does).

But you can rotate the main grid, and make a couple of Favorites with the specific rotation angle pre-fixed. (labels, text, etc) the dimension lines you will have to rotate manually.

Cheers.

Often wanted to do the same thing. Good one for a wish list (unless it's in 12!)...

Make the drawing you want to add the annotation to a reference drawing. You can rotate a reference drawing to any angle you want.
Make the annotation to fit that rotated view, copy and past it into the original drawing. Not a great solution but it works for notes.

Labels you can change all at the same time when you edit Label Orientaion.
