How to rotate model space without losing real coordinates?

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 00:54:07 GMT

Hello,

I have a drawing that is 8.0788 degrees off true north, and I would like to rotate the model space without losing the original coordinate data. I will be sending this drawing to a surveyor so it needs to stay exactly where it is with all its properties.

I have tried Dview and Twist, which works, EXCEPT that when I go to draw anything (say a rectangle), it's still aligned to the original coordinates of the file.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Rotate and align your UCSicon to your drawing ( 8.0788 degrees ) or to the angle that you need .... UCS command >> OBject , now type PLAN command then two enter . now you can continue your work . to get back to your origin angle type UCS command >> World . then PLAN command >> two enter .

I added a macro to "Toggle between UCS View & UCS World"

^C^C(if(zerop (getvar 'worlducs))(command-s "UCS" "World")(command-s "UCS" "View"))

Then added the string

"$(if,$(getvar,worlducs),,$(if,$(getvar,viewdir),$(getvar,ucsname) ,Plan ))"

to MODEMACRO in my acaddoc.lsp file so the current View setting would be displayed on the status bar.

(setvar 'MODEMACRO (strcat "$(If,$(Eq,$(Getvar,dbmod),0),,* )" ;The asterisk indicates the drawing has been modified. ; "$(getvar,cprofile)" ;Current Profile ; ", $(getvar,wscurrent)" ;Current Workspace "$(getvar,textstyle) " "$(rtos, $(*, $(getvar,cannoscalevalue), $(getvar,textsize)), 2, 2) " "$(if,$(getvar,worlducs),,$(if,$(getvar,viewdir),$(getvar,ucsname) ,Plan ))" ;Thanks Kent Cooper "$(if,$(and,1,$(getvar,pickstyle)),,<Group off> )" "$(if,$(and,2,$(getvar,groupdisplaymode)),[Group] )" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,1,$(getvar,osmode)),E))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,2,$(getvar,osmode)),M))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,4,$(getvar,osmode)),C))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,8,$(getvar,osmode)),Nod))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,16,$(getvar,osmode)),Q))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,32,$(getvar,osmode)),Int))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,4096,$(getvar,osmode)),Ex))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,64,$(getvar,osmode)),Ins))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,128,$(getvar,osmode)),Per))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,256,$(getvar,osmode)),T))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,512,$(getvar,osmode)),Nea))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,2048,$(getvar,osmode)),A))" "$(if,$(and,16384,$(getvar,osmode)),,$(if,$(and,8192,$(getvar,osmode)),Par))" "$(if, $(!=, $(getvar,viewtwist), 0), Viewtwist: $(angtos, $(getvar,viewtwist) [, 0, 2]) , )" ;Thanks alanjt "$(if, $(!=, $(strlen,$(getvar,refeditname)), 0), Xref = $(getvar,refeditname))" "$(If,$(Eq,$(Getvar,PStyleMode),0),STB,CTB )" "$(if,$(>, $(getvar,dynmode), 0),$(if,$(=,$(getvar,dynpicoords),0),@,#),#)" ;Dynamic coordinate entry.
