dview twist cross hairs

we use dview twist to rotate the view on the screen to align with the way it shows up on the sheet.  i have views saved to make this quicker when moving along in model space.  the problem is the cross hairs cant be saved with the view.  wish they could.  i have a lisp that will adjust the cross hairs by selecting a line on the plan that is set in defpoints so it wont plot.  does anyone out there  have a routine that i can load that would somehow automatically change the cross hairs to match the dview twist angle when i use the view command?  i have tried the actio recorder, but that doesnt appear to work correctly with what i am trying to do.

oh and we are using c3d 2012

 

thanks

Try the attached. 

 

EDIT #1:  This won't do exactly as you've asked.  You won't need to save the views -- you use this to do the actual rotation.

 

It sets the snapang (the cross hairs) to match the view angle.

 

EDIT #2:  The following code will allow you to set the snapang to match the view angle.  So you can still use your saved views if you like:

 

(defun c:setsnap()(setvar "snapang" (- 0 (getvar "viewtwist"))))

Try setting the UCS to View.
