How can I rotate the viewport in layout?
Rotating a viewport is like anything else: Rotate>>Select objects>>etc...the problem is the contents viewed through the view port do *not* rotate with the port. To do that you have to enter the port and rotate the view IN THE PORT. This is done with DVIEW>>TWIST, or by changing the UCS and then using the PLAN command.
or even better use ucs comand a enter ''3'' (old command v 12 isnt in options) key this means u need 3 point to have a new ucs, now u have 2 options ---- ucs----- Save ---- need a new name and or ---- plan --- and enter , enter have fun
Good for when you don't really know the angle off-hand or when it would take a week to type it correctly ; )
