Rotate _Plan (Viewtwist) using lisp
« on: December 07, 2017, 03:36:45 PM »
Hi,

I'm working on tool for printing to pdf files. It is based on dynamic block (drawing frame). I have one question, how to quickly rotate plan to my block orientation (change viewtwist). When I'm printing with window option in model space, I have to change that.
Attached image explains everyithing I think.

Ok, I will ask in this way. Can it be done in another way (using VanillaLisp or VisualLisp) than this:
Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (defun c:r2e ( / RTD ang )
  2.   (defun RTD (r / ) (/ (* r 180.0) pi))
  3.   (setq ang (RTD(cdr (assoc 50 (entget (car (entsel)))))))
  4.   (command "._dview" "" "_twist" (* -1 ang) "")
  5.   (command "._ucs" "_view" "")
  6.   (princ)
  7. )
I'm always trying to avoid command in my lisps...

you can use this lisp load and just type RV in model space and give directions exactly which way you want.

I've used this one for a few years.  Select two points on the line you want to be horizontal.
