Detail Text Rotation in Layout Book

[Anonymous]

Dear community,

I am currently stuck with, what should be a simple problem. Below you will find two pictures, the first is how the text of the detail tool appears in my regular plan view, the second picture shows that the text is rotated when I go to my layout book/print sheet of that drawing. This is because the complete drawing has been rotated a few degrees to make it appear better on paper. Question is how can I keep the text of the detail horizontal in my layout/print sheets?

Thanks in advance!

Milan,

No. I meant this one:

And forget my Quick Option Pallet mention... You can't define rotation there... Just in the View bottom bar. (See the image)
Then save the View with the uncheck "ignore zoom and rotation".

You are correct the Quick Options Bar is the place to go (I still can't remember correct naming for workspace elements - I've edited my previous post since it could be misleading)

Ok thanks everyone, this seems to work!

Just one important question though, by rotating my view this way, does it also rotate my model or merely the view itself? It is important that the model is still at the right angle because of sun studies, renders, etc....

It only rotates the viewpoint. Your model origin point and base axes can't be changed no matter how hard you try. You can only override both of them temporarily.

Thanks! I got it now. Even after years of intensive work in AC you sometimes find out that you missed out on some basics of AC like the things you just mentioned
