View Settings - Orientation Angle Visibility (Settings, Index & GDL)

Lachlan Green
Enthusiast

The wish is for a view's orientation to be accessible in the view settings, project index and in GDL for drawing titles.

 

Being visible in the view settings would allow multiple views to be edited simultaneously.  A lot of our standard plan views are set up in the template.  When a project comes along that needs the views rotated, we have to go one by one, redefining the views.  Imagine having to redefine layer combinations this way.

 

Being visible in the project index would allow all views to list their orientation, allowing a quick QA check.  The "Ignore zoom and rotation when opening this view" setting always finds a way of turning itself on.  This leads to staff thinking a view has been rotated, when it's using the last view's rotation and ignoring the current view's rotation.

 

Lastly, being visible in GDL would allow a 100% fool-proof north point.   This is an existing wish by Mark Davis and an old desire of mine that keeps coming back.  Ideally the north point on a layout should be generated by the drawing title as this has access to all of the relevant information.
