Topic: Rotating your views?

[Mark]

What do you use to rotate your view ports?

I like to use MVSETUP -> Align -> Rotate

Same here. I have seen people tilt there heads but I don't recommend that method.

[jonesy]

mine varies.
Sometimes I use the orbit, sometimes a new ucs, or dview (twist)...
occasionally I'll use mvsetup

[jnieman]

you just rotate the geometry to suit, right?















ok but seriously, I just change the UCS all the time, every time.  It's second nature to me but some here have trouble with it, so I set them on using DView>Twist and he got it decently well.

Thats it and don't forget to scale it to set your zoom

... & erase/trim off all the stuff you don't want to see

(every single thing y'all just mentioned is how my last employer had us doing stuff)


Sorry for the thread-jack Mark.

mvsetup looks a bit clunky
Express->Layout tools -> Alignspace seems more intuitive

[Swift]

Command: dview
Select objects or <use DVIEWBLOCK>: all 3 found
2 were not in current space.

Select objects or <use DVIEWBLOCK>:
Enter option
[CAmera/TArget/Distance/POints/PAn/Zoom/TWist/CLip/Hide/Off/Undo]: tw
Specify view twist angle <0.00>:
Enter option
[CAmera/TArget/Distance/POints/PAn/Zoom/TWist/CLip/Hide/Off/Undo]:
Regenerating model.

Usually...  UCS > OBject > Plan > Zoom > Center > 1/nXP

With Civil work (LDT or C3D), a UCS is a big no-no.

The majority of our work is done with North=Up.

But for those cases where North=Up doesn't work, I sometimes use ALIGNSPACE.  Most of the time, though, I simply use DView TWist and key in the twist manually in modelspace.  All new paperspace viewports then automatically match modelspace as they are created (unless there is already a paperspace viewport in the layout, in which case the new viewport twist matches the existing viewport twist).

I rely heavily on 3dOrbit, and the Views toolbar (Front/Back/SW etc.). I used to use Dview until 3dOrbit was introduced.

That was my way too, but we went thru a spate of crashes when we did that, so I'm a little reluctant to rely on orbit as much as I used to.

Likewise
MVSETUP (aka: RV)

Use this all the time for anything other than "standard" views........"View" toolbar gets a lot of work here.
