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"))))
