Heather_Anderson Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 X14 user. I am wondering if there is a way to rotate my plan and then change the x,y axis to match that rotation. I have also have a probably simple question. I have lost the tab at the bottom of my screen that shows current active layer and direction. Thank you in advance.

Heather_Anderson Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Omg, YES, under preferences. I had it turned off. Thank God I've been missing it. Why I want to rotate a plan, for instance I have a garage I can reuse on another job but just need to reorient it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather_Anderson Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Also, If I've drawn a plan that doesn't fit on the layout sheet , I have to reorient to fit. Then all my text has to be rotated, also any linework I add x,y is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 To rotate objects for reuse in another plan, either group select or use one of the Edit Area tools. The latter group of tools are far more robust and do things a simple group select cannot. The Rotate Plan View tool is the wrong tool for the job and essentially just rotates the drawing board. Although there are a couple other good uses, I typically only use that tool for temporarily reorienting myself for off angle work and for Plot Plans.
