Rotating a Viewport Rotates the View in the Viewport

[autocad.wishlist1734]

Summary: The ability to rotate a rectangular viewport and have the view of the objects rotate with the viewport.

Description: I want to be able to "rotate" a rectangular viewport and have the "view" of the MS objects follow that rotation. For instance, When you have a PS TBlock that is 8.5x11 portrait but the MS entities are 8.5x11 landscape. It would be so much easier if I could simply grab the vport and rotate it to suit the TBlock, instead of going through a painful string of commands (compared to "rotate"). Especially if you have standard settings for plotting and sketch sheet creation.


How Used: Simply rotating a viewport to any angle, instead of the painful string of commands you need to do now would be a huge timesaver.

It would be so much faster if we were able to rotate the viewport the view of the MS objects follow that rotation and when back in MS everything would be just as it was originally drawn (no rotation).

Hi Bill

How about using something like the following to achieve the results you are after (apologies if it is teaching you to suck eggs)...

Assuming UCSFollow = 0

Make the Floating Viewport active eg Enter the Floating Viewport.

Command: _.UCS [Enter]

Current ucs name: *WORLD*
Specify origin of UCS or [Face/NAmed/OBject/Previous/View/World/X/Y/Z/ZAxis] <World>: _Z [Enter]

Specify rotation angle about Z axis <0>: 90 [Enter]

Command: _.Plan [Enter]

Enter an option [Current ucs/Ucs/World] <Current>: [Enter]
Regenerating model.

Done!

Mike
