Viewport question

How do I rotate the current view in a viewport without actually rotating the actual drawing? I am not sure I have worded that correctly. The problem is I have a site for a project that has a couple of that curve. I want to rotate different viewports to fit on the sheets correctly, but not have to rotate the entire site in model space.

Go to model space in your layout. At the command
line enter mvsetup. Choose Align ( as I recall). Then choose Rotate. As I recall
you enter the absolute (not relative) degrees for the rotation.

To set for a layout viewport in the desired viewport alter the
ucs to your desired "new" orientation using any of the "Tools>new UCS" menu
options. (z rotate is my usual pick)

 

Set the viewport to that ucs using "View>3d views>Plan
View>Current Ucs" menu. The vp view will rotate & zoom extents so you
then need to set the VP scale (zoom).
