When I select a coordinate system to my dwg file, the north rotates slightly

Any idea why it rotates?

 

Thank you

Hi Carlos,
I've seen that with custom coordinate systems and sometimes when using the Transformation Tab. Can you post your drawing?

Hi @Pointdump,

 

I send you a file where I found this issue. It has associated a custom coordinate system.

 

Thank you

Carlos,
Thanks for posting your drawing.
PT-TM06/ETRS89 is a bad definition in MAPCSLIBRARY. Use instead ETRS89/PT-TM06, which matches >>>EPSG:3763 ETRS89 / Portugal TM06<<<.

Carlos,
To give a visual, the GeoMarker at the center of Bing Live Maps extents is normally on the Central Meridian, so would be a Convergence of zero. Wierdly, the pie-shaped extents of PT-TM06/ETRS89 are rotated.

Well, I tried to open the same file in another computer that also use the same auto-registered coordinate system, and the rotation of the north doesn't happen.. so I deleted the auto registered coordinate system, an created it again (by opening a file with that) and it works.

 

I have no idea what could happened.

 

Thank you for your help @Pointdump
