How to rotate a workspace!?

[radgivaren]

Hi!

Just recently started using VW 12.5 and have a question concerning the coordinates. How do I rotate the working plane so that an imported drawing appears vertical/horizontal rather than all twisted and crocked. Obviously using the rotate tool is not an option since that would make it impossible to export something back to for example the architect.

Just can?t find the right way.. Please help?

Layer Link the original then rotate then > Edit>Unlock> then > Rotate.

This way you can work on the original DesignLayer(s) and see the results

in the Linked Layer(s)

Ok, thanx for quick answers. I realize now that I not alone in this mess. Let?s just hope they deliver soon.

Thanx again!

I have just started trying layer linking to rotate bases from autocad so that I can work on an easier rotation for labelling, etc. What happens when I have to send drawings to Autocad? Will everything go back to the original rotation? What about labelled objects, such as plant tags? These do not like to be rotated - they go back to horizontal and you can't label them in a viewport (not as I understand as part of the Landmark program).

I'm also hoping this will come out shortly.

Could it be simply a matter of setting the view to top/plan?
