Switch XY direction

Hi, I am a student drawing maps with a standard that has a opposite X,Y axis than CAD has at default. Now I have to put in X values in Y and vice versa. 

 

Default settings is (if I have got it right) 

X= 0° 

Y= 90°

 

I want X = 90°
and     Y = 0°

 

(The opposite direction)

 

Thankful for any help I can get.

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

 

Hi Einar,

 

You can change base angle direction (and angle direction) inside Drawing Units window (menu Format -> Units):

You can also use UCS command to create custom coordinate system.

Hi! Thanks for the help. But it does not solve my problem. I know that the axis can be rotated but I can't find how to switch directions. X and Y are stil at same positions.

Change Z axis direction: by default it goes "outside" screen, so set it to go "inside" screen with UCS command.
Or change view direction and look at your drawing from the bottom.

Can you share with detail how you did it? I have the exact same problem and looking at the drawing from the bottom just isnt the solution
