Help! my scope box is rotated.

[Anonymous]

Hi Folks.

I have a wee conundrum in that I've just noticed that some scope boxes on my job have been ever so slightly rotated.  IDK how, maybe the person who set them up did it inadvertantly, however now when i draw a vertical line in the associated view, it's at some small angle to the sheet.  See image.

Unfortunately I don't see how I can snap the scope box back to how it should be.

There's too many links to the scope box to delete it too.

Any ideas?

Its look like graphics error. are you sure scope box rotated? I don't think so.

Why not just recreate one and reassociate?

Yep it sure is rotated as I have another master view with all the scope boxes visible and there are 2 that are ever so slightly rotated somehow.  I'm talking 0.01 degrees so probably not worth worrying about but it makes vert and horiz lines jagged by 1-2 pixels in the associated views.

It just annoys me that I can't snap a scope box rotation to anything, or even align it to anything.

I thought it might be too much trouble to re-create with all the dependent views but I just tried it without breaking anything.  I guess that's the answer.

Are you familiar with using reference planes to align scope boxes? Try drawing one and associate it to your scope box, then set it to none and it will set it to the scope box' edges. Now if you select both you can position/rotate it more precisely as you like snapping to this  reference plane. Perhaps you could group those also, not sure atm.

Interesting.  I didn't know that trick and yep, you can group them.

Doesn't fix this issue though but will be useful to stop someone inadvertently rotating a SB in future.

Thanks.
