Export plan from view map to DWG, keep rotation

I work in a project where I've rotated the plan in Plan View 23 degrees. When I export the file to DWG, it exports with no rotation.

Is there any ways to change this, so the exported DWG follows the rotation chosen in the view map? I would really like to prefer to not rotate the model itself.

Check your translator to see that exporting with the Survey Point is de-selected.

 

In IFC exchanges, the survey point orients the output to True North, and I belive the behaviour is the same with background DWGs.

Thanks, but unfortunately that's not it. The translator has "Project Origin" instead of Survey Point chosen in "Match File's Origin", and I can't find any other setting in translator where Survey Point is an option.

I start to suspect that it's simply not possible to export DWG:s with the same rotation as in view map, but I can't be the only one missing this feature?

I am wondering if that is because you are simply saving the plan view as a DWG?

If you place the view on a layout (with the correct rotation) and then publish that layout, I think you may get what you see.

 

Just a guess.

I am not really sure as I have no need to save/publish rotated DWGs.
