rotate orientation won't save with view

Graham Whipple — Fri, 26 May 2023 14:38:49 GMT

I cannot seem to get the rotated orientation to save with other view settings. The rotated orientation seems to stick as long as I only toggle through plan views, but if I toggle to some other view and then back to the floor plan view the rotated orientation is lost.
Does the rotation not save with the other view settings?

I've rotated my plan to natively be oriented correctly with north, but for page layout and general working drawings I am using a reference north orientation of 32.54 and would like to rotate the plans accordingly for better use of the layout sheets.
Is this not the purpose of rotate orientation?

Graham:

In AC 15 (assuming 14 is the same), try setting the View Settings > 2D/3D Documents > Zooming to Current Zoom when the Oriented View (term used in the Help files) is set as desired.

Thanks David! I knew the setting must be there somewhere, but I missed that one apparently.

Hi, I'm looking for this feature in ArchiCAD 24, do you happen to know where it would be?
I'm having the same problem as the person who created the original post--- my saved rotated view does not stay rotated. Thus it looks different in layout view.

It is still in the view settings, down the bottom in the 2D/3D Documents section.

DNguyen:

You can also use the "Get Current Window's Settings" button at the top of the View Settings dialog box.

Thanks for both your guidance, really appreciate it. So far it works. I've been struggling with these views in vain and they wouldn't stay rotated. So far it works, thanks.

In Archicad 25 Build 5005. Saved views does not stick once again. With both those options set. As soon as I return the main view to Zero. All set views return to Zero as well! 😞 Any new setting i don't know about?

OK, fixed the problem. Apart from the above settings mentioned: Unchecking 'Ignore zoom & rotation when opening this view' fixed it.

Hi, I have a rotated view and it sticks, but the problem is the view isn't rotated on the layout view. Anyone know why? A hidden setting?

Fixed it I think, After having "ignore zoom & rotation when opening this view" checked in every view for years without any problems in 9 to 20, first project in 25 I have problems and to fix it I have to uncheck it in every view.

Apparently you can't have it ticked or un-ticked in just one view. Its seems to be all the same or theirs a problem. Why do Graphisoft make everything so complicated.

Whats wrong to only have the Zoom Ignored in the checkbox. Rotation should be a one off setting in the "General" view settings Pure and simple
