hi guys. i am just wondering if anyone knows how to rotate the axis (cartesian plane) so that 0 degrees is not always right and 90 is straight up.

i would like to be able to get left to be 0 degrees and down to be 90

cheers all

Is it possible to rotate the Project North so 0 degrees is straight up?

AFAIK right is always 0° and 0° is always right relative to the project origin (with counter-clockwise positive angles). It's the cartesian standard with no rotation allowed. Of course you can always use the alternate grid (which GS mysteriously calls "skewed") for a different working angle.
