Elevations/Sections rotated in Layout + Elevation Dimension up-side down

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a problem with a file where all sections and elevations looks fine, but are rotated once placed in Layout. In addition to this, the elevation dimensions are ok in the view, but up-side down once the view is placed in a layout.

The Angle of the drawing is 0,00º in Drawing Selection Settings, so this is not the issue.

What might be the problem? The only thing I can think of is that plan view is rotated 87,01º, but I assume that this doesn't affect the layout.

See screenshots:

3 - Plan

Your signature says you are using version 19? (I see colour in your icons so that must be correct).

This is a known issue in later versions.

Make sure you have the latest update for your version and maybe try the 'Open & Repair' option on the file.

What happens if you rotate the Viewpoint 90 degrees clockwise so its rotation angle will be -2.99 degrees instead of the current 87,01 degrees. Does that give better results on Layouts?
