Is there a way to mirror a specific view and not rotate the whole project? I'm working on exiting plans for a project that's almost complete and need to have 2 different sets of plans (one with north to the left, one with north to the right) an the only thing I've come up with is to make a copy of the project and change Project North in that one but this seems like a lot of work for something so simple. I just need to rotate the view on the sheet and have the text still read correctly. Any suggestions?

So are you wanting to rotate the project, or mirror it?
I just learned about the mirror project command. It...well........mirrors the project for you.

I'm thinking you need to copy the project, then use the mirror project command if you need it mirrored.

I don't want to actually mirror anything so I supposed my question was phrased incorrectly. I want to rotate the view 180 degrees but keep the text readable. Right now I have the project set up with north to the left but for some of the exiting plans that would be oriented backwards. I know you can rotate views on sheets but the only options are 90 degrees CW or CCW which doesn't help me. Plus when you do that all the text rotates too. I spent the morning making a new project and changed Project North 180 degrees and that seems to have worked but it took me several hours to go back and move all the text that didn't rotate. It just seems like there would be another (meaning easier) way to do this.

Turn on crop region, rotate crop region 180 degrees. Adjust and turn back off. All your tags, text, annotations, etc. should stay in the same place and be readable.

Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for - thanks!
