Thank you both for your responses

yes, i get orthogonal views from the UCS using the viewcube, however, the view control always says custom view on any view that is not aligned with the XYZ of the WCS.

i have the components in viewports and i am trying to dimension them on a layout in paperspace.

If they are on a custom view (from the view control) it tells me that i cannot dimension them that i need orthogonal views).

it seems to me the only way to get the orthogonal views to dimension in paperspace is copy all of the items and then rotate them so that they are in a UCS that is aligned with the XYZ coordinate system.

otherwise, although i have set and named a UCS that is aligned with the item, in the viewport, i cannot dimension the item unless i use the standard named views (from the view control - ie top, right, left, back, etc) which push me back to the WCS - the view controls always say that i have a custom view, even though the viewcube indicates that i am on a common view - this makes sense if the view control always refer back to WCS, i guess.

If the view controls are always related back to WCS, then it appears that i will only be able to do this (dimension the items in viewports in paperspace) in a UCS that shares the XYZ coordinate system from the WCS.

i did do a presspull action on some items, so i tried clipboard copying the whole drawing to another, new, clean file, but the problem persisted.
