    Default Can I set Drawing Orientation in VB?

    I am using AutoCad 2004.

    I need to set the Drawing Orientation programatically from inside VB.
    I am using the 'ThisDrawing' object to do most of the other work I need.

    But when I check its structure in VB's Watch Window, I can't find an Orientation property.

    I also used the on-line AutoCad help, and I can't find a reference there either.

    For a number of reasons, I cannot use a plot config file to set this.

    Thanks, gvp

    First, welcome to the forums.

    Check out the PlotConfiguration.PlotRotation property.

    Thanks. The plot rotation settings did indeed set the orientation correctly.
    For my application, I needed "upside down Landscape", so setting PlotRotation = ac180degrees worked nicely.
