Drawing rotation on sheet

[Polar Bear]

Hello,

When i place a drawing on a sheet it is not the same as what is saved in view.  Why is it so tricky ??

Strange. Check your view settings. Perhaps you have rotated your view angle, but that is somehow not captured properly in the view? 

1. Double-click the desired View in View Map.

2. Check that the result is what you want. Adjust zoom if its not what you want.

3. Select the View in View Map, open Settings, select Zooming --> Current Zoom.

4. Place that view in a layout

Sorry if all this is obvious to you. I can't think of another way for troubleshooting. It seems relevant that the rotated view on the layout is oriented such the North is directly toward top of sheet. Could you have placed a view on the layout that is not the one you think you are working with in model space? Such that one view has rotated zoom and the other doesn't? In your second image, does that view have a Zoom rotation? In other words, is the model built so that north is pointing directly toward the top of the ArchiCAD interface, but you rotate the zoom angle so that you can work on it as you intend to print it?

+1 with Robert's proposed solutions above.

however, if these rotated plans are anything similar the problems we have with our rotated section / elevation drawings & model, our fix to it was to do an Open & Repair operation. it fixes it most of the time.

Is your main 2D screen rotated in Archicad?

You may have actually modelled the building on an angle (although it looks square on screen).

Then when you place it on the layout it shows the correct angle because you set the view to ignore the zoom and rotation.
