Direct a plane towards the current view

[Anonymous]

Hello Forum.

So basically I have some two dimensional figure in a dwg and I have drawn it on the top view. I will attach a pic of my drawing here, so everyone can see it. The left figure is drawn in the top view, but seen from the current view of isometry. The right figure is exactly the same as the left, but is directed towards the current view, which is in an isometric view. Instead of calculating angles and 3drotating the figure, as I did in my case, how can I direct a copy of my top view drawn figure towards the isometric view, without using 3drotate. I believe it to be somethin from the "View" menu, but I don't really find how. I was doing this procedure long time ago in the university, but I have it forgotten and cannot find it anywhere. As far as I remember it, this was something easy to do.

I will upload a picture too, so anyone who is willing to help me will easily see what I mean. 🙂

Greetings. 🙂

Try the VPOINT command

From X Axis: try 315

From XY Plane: try 30

In the Coordinate System in which it was drawn [even if looking at it from an isometric point of view], copy it to the clipboard [Ctrl+C = COPYCLIP or Ctrl+Shift+C = COPYBASE] or if you want the original gone, cut it to the clipboard [Ctrl+X = CUTCLIP].  Then do UCS with its View option, and Ctrl+V paste it in.

Thank you for your answer, @paullimapa. It is very useful, but I cannot use it to solve my problem.

Thank you for your answer, @Kent1Cooper. Using your answer, I solved my problem. The tricky part is to rotate your CS towards the viewpoint.
