Dependent Views Rotate when Editing in The Parent View

[Charles Karl]

There is a scenario that was not understood right away on our current project, and the consensus was that someone was screwing up the model without realizing what they were doing, or there was a gremlin in the software.
Well, I discovered first hand that when editing within a parent view using temporary view override that any dependent views that were disassociated from scopes boxes would rotate to true north from plan north. Where this gets real interesting is that if you don't catch it and restore view properties, the rotation will stay. Can you imagine print day and seeing one of your block plans rotated and you don't know how it got there. I don't know if autodesk knows this yet and I don't know if 2016 has the same issue, but all beware of this oddity in the software. Or, don't have a mix of associated/disassociate views/scope boxes within the same parent view.

I had the same issue happening from time to time. No one could figure it out. Things weren't be rotated. The views were still set to project north and not true north.
We figured it had to do with our civil folks changing things in the linked cad file that was establishing the shared coords. Turns out that wasn't it.
Again I'm really not sure what caused it. No one claimed to be rotating views or anything like that. Only solution to the fix was to open the parent view, change from Project north to true north and then set it back to project north. I made a post about it a while back.

The fix that worked for me was to simply associate the rotated view back to the scope box and it rotated back to project north.
