Anonymous
Not applicable
Out of nowhere my layout View glitches. The sheet rotated 90 and the layout rotated some random amount past 90. See image. I have no idea how it hapned and no idea how to fix it. All the layouts in the project have the same issue. I tried to close and re-open with no success. Please help.

The gridlines that align with the content (master/placed drawing) are a hint that somehow the rotated grid was turned on. At the bottom left of your screen, you can see this is the case by the rotated grid selection button. Also, above that - lower left of the layout window, you can see two black arrows for the x/y axes ... and can see that the y axis is currently rotated to be to the right and down. I don't see why this would affect existing layouts, only newly placed stuff.


Switch by to orthogonal grid to see if it helps. Check your master layout and see what grid setting is in use there. Verify that the desired master layout is associated with each layout - change the display of your layoutbook to group by master. It doesn't look like the currently selected master is big enough for your sheet content, but maybe that's the way it was before.

Not sure how but the issue fixed itself when I added a new layout to the set. I think it was a major glitch. This is the second time it has happened to me and I have no idea how to fix it. last time I had to reconstruct the project.

Rotating the grid had no affect. I was messing with that after it glitches to see if it would fix it. It din not affect anything.

I am good for the moment but worried if it happens again.

Adding a layout usually fixed it.

Same thing just happened to me, all layouts skewed after a crash, and the add layout fix worked. I have a deadline in the morning… I almost threw my computer out of the 17th floor window!

FYI, I recently added a rotated view to one of my site plans, which was at the angle affecting my layouts, so I imagine that was the cause.
