You can rotate an entire
view within a layout viewport with the VPROTATEASSOC system variable.
When VPROTATEASSOC is set to 1,
the view within a viewport is rotated with the viewport. When VPROTATEASSOC
is set to 0, the view remains when the viewport is rotated.
You can also rotate an
entire view within a layout viewport by changing the UCS and using
the PLAN command.
With
the UCS command, you
can rotate the XY plane at any angle around the
Z axis. When you enter the PLAN command, the view rotates to match the
orientation of the XY plane.
Another
way is to use the Align and then Rotate View options in the MVSETUP command.
NoteThe
ROTATE command rotates
individual objects only and should not be used to try to rotate
a view.
To rotate a view within
a viewport
- At the Command prompt,
enter vprotateassoc.
- Set the value to 1.
- Make sure you are on
a layout tab.
- Select the viewport with the view you
want to rotate.
- Enter r (Rotate)
to rotate the view to a specified angle or with two points.
- Specify a base point
for the rotation.
- Specify the rotation
angle or specify a second point to determine the angle of rotation.
The
entire view rotates within the viewport.
NoteWhen
VPROTATEASSOC is set to 0,
the view within the viewport is not rotated when the viewport is
rotated.
To rotate a view by changing
the UCS
- Make sure you are on
a layout tab.
- Double-click within
the viewport whose objects you want to rotate.
- Make sure that the
current UCS is parallel to the plane of rotation (the UCS icon should
look normal). If the UCS is not parallel to the plane of rotation, .
To rotate the view 90
degrees clockwise, enter 90. To rotate the view 90 degrees
counter-clockwise, enter -90.
The
entire view rotates within the viewport. You may need to specify
the scale of the viewport again.
To rotate a layout view
using MVSETUP
- On a layout, enter mvsetup at
the Command prompt.
- Enter a (Align).
- Enter r (Rotate)
to rotate the view to a specified angle or with two points.
- If multiple viewports
are available on the layout, click the viewport with the view that
you want to rotate.
- Specify a base point
for the rotation.
- Specify the rotation
angle or specify a second point to determine the angle of rotation.
The
entire view rotates within the viewport.
- To restore the previous
UCS, enter ucs and then p (Previous).

UCSVP
Determines whether the
UCS in viewports remains fixed or changes to reflect the UCS of
the current viewport.
VIEWTWIST
Stores the view rotation
angle for the current viewport measured relative to the WCS.
VPROTATEASSOC
Controls whether the
view within a viewport is rotated with the viewport when the viewport
is rotated.
