Inported drawing slightly rotated

Rastko Pecar — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 07:49:34 GMT

Hi everyone,

Soon after starting a new project in Archicad I've noticed that upon placing external drawing in an independent worksheet the geometry is slightly rotated. The declination does not register on measure/rotate tool but is perceptible visually as you can see from the attached images below.

Since this is a fresh project my first thought on where the problem might lie is the template file from where I started. But which option/setting could do this, since project north (my first suspect) - I assume - does not effect worksheets, or it does?

Has anyone experienced this problem? Suggestions appreciated!

Check your drawing settings.

Thanks you, here we have the culprit:

Ive imported 2 different drawings (one CAD of mine and one downloaded from a producer) and the angle is the same on both. So the problem is in Archicad.

Do you think its the program in general or something in the template file?

It is not a problem with Archicad.

It is just the default setting you have for the drawing tool.

Change the angle to 0° before you place the next drawing and they will all be at 0° when you place them.

The software only does what you tell it to. 😁
