    Question Dimensions and Rotated viewports

    OK, gang!....got a curly one.....I have a situation where we have a sheet with rotated viewport....in modelspace I have the drawing orientated in a direction different (don't ask!)... I dimension in modelspace and can't get the orientation of the text to show in the right direction in Paperspace........any thoughts?

    Default Re: Dimensions and Rotated viewports

    Hi

    In Modelspace set a UCS to the same orientation as the view in Paperspace -> If USCFollow = 0 use the _.Plan command to set the new UCS horizontal and vertical to the screen -> Dimension as normal.

    Hint - look into Saved UCS's & Named Views.

    Have a good one, Mike
