Tom (I am sure this isn't new news to you, but it might help others
following the thread)
Save the Named UCS and then the Named View and then hving a macro (LISP if
you prefer)
'-view;r;yourview
The nice thing about these are you get the VIEW, you get the UCS and can be
transparent to a command in progress.

save
UCS with view now, you can do the whole thing with just the view command.

Re: NOT rotating grid lines |

Hi Tom,
It wasn't necessarily difficult. It was just that I found that working
with the plan in one file and xattaching it to the elevation file and
then rotating and copying had advantages in that I could see the
elevations side by side in model space and copy and
project without using view/ucs switching. Also with elevations in a
ground down point of view, creating the viewports for the sheets
was simpler because I didn't have to work in different coordinate
systems in each viewport (or viewtwist).
I haven't tried dragging upside down views in ADT2005 onto sheets.
ADT2005 viewport automation might speed the radiating projection
technique up.
Has anyone played with setting the UCSBASE. I finally understood
some of the big advantages in using that this week with rotated wings.
Using the -view r [f t ba ri le..] with a different UCSBASE than
WORLD can simplify some 3D and rotated 2D drafting.
Regards,
Doug

Me too, and a much more limber back! We used to use those Spiroll things,
where you'd slide the drawing down into the tube to protect the bottom part
when you repositioned it at a more convenient place on the board. Working on
an E size sheet was torture unless you could do that.
