Is there anyway to have 2D objects rotate with the view? In CAD the groundplan rotates with the view by default. The only way I can get my 2d drawings to rotate is by extruding them to 0". But then they lose their 2D qualities. I can't have dotted lines etc.. I also have to convert text to polylines and extrude to 0"
I build theatrical sets. I start by drawing a groundplan in 2D. Then I begin modeling up the set. When I rotate the view to have a look, it would be nice to see the rest of the footprint in its correct perspective. Also, I do not model all of the backstage architecture. I leave it in 2d but I have to turn it off when I rotate the set.
I wonder why Vectorworks doesn't even offer the option? I've attach two images so you can see what I mean.

2D objects have an x and y which remain the same in 3D space. What some of us would like is an option to default 2D objects to a Z of 0. As one of the other posters said, every other CAD program and design program does this by default.
