    Default Rotate View in Viewport

    Hi,
    I am working on a dwg. of a building that has a portion of it that
    extends off of the main building at an angle.

    Is there a way that I can rotate the view in my viewport so that it appears
    vertical instead of skewed?

    I would prefer not to rotate it in model space.

    AutoCAD 2004.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    dview works in model space only. I only want to rotate the view in my viewport and
    keep the model as is.

    DVIEW works in a viewport as well. I use it contantly.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Make sure your viewport is not locked before dview twisting it.

    Go to the layout space.
    Douible Click inside of viewport
    Goto tools, new UCS
    Choose Z
    Type in angle in which you need it to be rotated. You may need to make a negative rotation.

    Goto view, 3D views and choose current.

    It appears Dview Twist is what I was looking for.

    Thanks to all.
