Does the rotation not save with the other view settings?
I've rotated my plan to natively be oriented correctly with north, but for page layout and general working drawings I am using a reference north orientation of 32.54 and would like to rotate the plans accordingly for better use of the layout sheets.
Is this not the purpose of rotate orientation?

In AC 15 (assuming 14 is the same), try setting the View Settings > 2D/3D Documents > Zooming to Current Zoom when the Oriented View (term used in the Help files) is set as desired.

I'm having the same problem as the person who created the original post--- my saved rotated view does not stay rotated. Thus it looks different in layout view.

It is still in the view settings, down the bottom in the 2D/3D Documents section.

You can also use the "Get Current Window's Settings" button at the top of the View Settings dialog box.

In Archicad 25 Build 5005. Saved views does not stick once again. With both those options set. As soon as I return the main view to Zero. All set views return to Zero as well! 😞 Any new setting i don't know about?

OK, fixed the problem. Apart from the above settings mentioned: Unchecking 'Ignore zoom & rotation when opening this view' fixed it.

Hi, I have a rotated view and it sticks, but the problem is the view isn't rotated on the layout view. Anyone know why? A hidden setting?
