I am about 75% complete on a project and I have just now learned from the civil engineer which way is north. Is there a way to change my directional settings (north, south, etc) without rotating my whole project?

Settings->Locations and Coordinates->Rotate Project / True North. Every project has both true north and project north. There have been some good tutorials posted on www.augi.com on this subject.

Yes, you need to do the training on True north/Project north. Basically if go to your site plan view first click view properties and there is a selection for project or true north, change it to true north, then click setting>location and coordinates>rotate this project> enter or manual rotate the correct degrees(may be negative depending on which way you need to rotate.)

ONce this is done any view can be shown as project north or true north.
