UCSFOLLOW |
|
|
I can rotate a view by switching the system variable UCSFOLLOW to 1 and then
resetting my UCS. This rotates the view without rotating the objects. The
problem I have is when I do this in a layout. When I exit the viewport
into paper space and then come back in to the model space viewport, my view
zooms out to the extents. Is there a way of fixing this so I can retain the
rotated view and a particular zoom scale?

UCSFOLLOW=0
e.g. rotate view around the z-axes : ucs - z -90 - plan -enter enter

Not withstanding any other replies to this thread, you don't have to use
UCSFOLLOW to
rotate a view in any kind of port. With USCFOLLOW set to 0, you can change
the UCS in any port
so that the Y axis is pointing in the direct you would like to be "up" in
your port,
then use the PLAN command. That will rotate the view.
Zoom to the required scale/degree, and it will stay that way until YOU
change it.

In my case usually not, but someone else might want to.

I think DVIEW is the command you want, and then hit Twist and it will keep
the settings in our viewport without changing anything within model space.

Re: UCSFOLLOW |

I'm not sure where I got this macro, but I think this will do what you
want. I always set my UCS by selecting objects that are on the desired
angle. This macro will set the UCS to the object's angle, rotate the
view, and then zoom back to the original scale. Sorry I don't know who
to credit.

Sorry I should have looked a little harder...EXPLAN is in the express
tools and here is it's explanation.
Description:
;; Similar to PLAN except that EXPLAN automatically zooms to the
center
;; of the extents of selected objects after performing a plan view to
;; the specified ucs. i.e. In other words; it keeps the zoom distance
;; consistant. |
