You can either do 2 things, go to tools>new
ucs>object and pick a line that you want the ucs to rotate to or type ucs and
change the x axis to the angle you want


style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">

If you can generate the image, you can post it to the Customer Files newsgroup, with a note here stating you have done so.

The Customer Files newsgroup can be accessed via the web-based interface at -->

http://discussion.autodesk.com/WebX?14@@.ee940b5

<-- [watch for word wrap], or via a newsreader at -->

news://discussion.autodesk.com/autodesk.autocad.customer-files

<-- [watch for word wrap].

ZIP all files prior to posting. If you use the newsreader access, make the ZIP file an attachment to your post. If you use the web-based interface, there is the usual place to type explanatory text for your post, and an edit box at the bottom where you type in the path and name of the ZIP file, or use the Browse button to navigate to it (usually easier).

Here it is:

 

Type "SNAP" and hit enter

Type "Rotate" and hit enter

Type 0 and hit enter

Type 0 and hit enter

Then hit F9 to turn snap off

 

You don't have to screw with all that UCS mess to
just rotate your crosshairs.

Try UCS - View.  If your drawing has been
rotated to a 3D view and you want your crosshairs to line up to your screen and
not the drawing this should do it.

 

To return UCS - W

 

Hope this is what you mean,
