Drawing at an Angle in AutoCAD? Rotate the UCS! (Lynn Allen/Cadalyst Magazine)

[@Yde7545]

I'm a final year architecture student, and i've never used this before. It's so useful! Thank you so muchh!!

[@alanayers4915]

Lynn, Thank you so much! I have been struggling with the design of a deck that has several angles because the house angles several places at 22.5 degrees. This messes up when I try to do a crossing command and it is angled relative the support structure of the deck. I had never tried to rotate the drawing, but it works beautifully. What a time saver! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

I've been teaching lots of people at the office this feature but now I can just send them your video :D

Dear Lynn, Thanks Your Videos is very helpful. kindly make a video for text rotation i mean when after rotating the drawing i want to draw a xy on drawing on some different point but when i draw xy coordinate text rotation was not shown in 0 angle or aligned with line is it possible to draw coordinate or xy text on line alignment at any point.

Hi Lynn , Do you know how to rotate just the VIEW not the USC?

[@danieltambling1451]

This video has just saved my a huge headache, thank you big time.

Hi dear Madam, After apply this process the coordinates will not change.? Please clarify. Thanks

Thank you Miss Lynn...

Thankyou so much. This video made my work SO much more Easier.

this is so helpful, thank you!

[@taybahmalik6183]

It actually makes sense now! Thank you!

[@WorldEngineersOnline]

Very good tip, useful method too. Thanks

[@chrissalvian3930]

Another way of working with wierd rotation angles is to change the snap angle. I have this in my acaddoc.lsp and it loads every time a drawing opens: (defun C:SSR ( / ANS ANG) (defun *ERROR* (msg)(princ " ERROR: ")(princ msg)(setq *ERROR* nil)(princ)) (setvar "snapang" (getangle " Pick rotation angle: ")) (setq *ERROR* nil) (princ) ) Works like a charm.

Loved it

very nice tip

[@imranenvoy]

Thank you, such a nice trick

[@dougdraper4892]

Funny how Lynn was leaning during almost all the video... just like I do when working at weird angles.

Thanks!

why didn't i find you earlier...my life would have been so much easier

[@monicagomez8706]

omg thank you soooo much!!

Great tip but in the world of BIM you never want to move the zero coordinates. Rotate the UCS yes, but keep 0,0 at the project's origin.

[@malkayjee]

thanks you are awesome

[@wheelairrentals7132]

good tip
