UCS - Viewport problem

Got this drawings in model space I have the UCS set to 'view' when I go into paper space I have a viewport and it shows the whole building on the p i s s. What am I doing wrong, can I use something like viewport properties and change the UCS there?
Sorry if this doesn't sound clear I had too many beers last night Cheers guys.

Skeeps.....you wanna align the building up East/West?

If so.....many people talk about doing it different ways.....me, I'm different, but you know that. I prefer to create a new UCS for the viewport.

Yell if you want to do that...all my notes on doing it are at work, but I'll try to remember here.......first you have to know the rotation angle. Looks like there it could be about 60 degs.

Activate the viewport....type UCS, NEW, Z, enter rotation angle
Goto view, viewports, 3D views, plan view, current UCS.

It should rotate the lot...I hope....as I said, I'm working from memory here.

Once you have a new UCS you will have to set things like VP scale and all that normal stuff.

Yeah... ucs, z, & enter the angle (I usually pick 2 points on a line that I want to be horizontal)... then plan,c

Thank you Hedge for backing my way of doing it. Everytime I opened my mouth on another forum I got poo-pooed......ah well.......

As with most things CAD there's more than one way to skin a cat... some folk like to swear that their way is the best/only one anyone with any sense would use, but it's horses for courses.

Very true...that's why mine is the best

oooooo...are we showing our knowledge and expertise here?

If so, I wish to apologise to everyone...that was not my intention.

My intention was simply to put agro on all the pretend experts.

I am not a pretend expert....I am an expert....just ask my manager.......woot

An ex is a hasbeen & a spurt is a drip under pressure.

... yup... your an expert Alan

mmmmmmmm

Bloody poms. At least the Welsh can give us a run for our money.

Oh, we weren't going to talk about that this week, were we........

Do you know what I did I just copied the whole building, stuck it in a new drawing and it worked.

I think what you've posted here is going to help, I'll try your method as I've got a load of drawings from another project with the same thing.

Cheers guys

If you copied it in the view ucs you set up then pasted it in to the model of a new drawing on world ucs then you have effectively straightened up the drawing... not a problem so long as you know what has happened & are aware of it if you have to insert it into or insert any other unrotated drawings.

Alan... shhh

Mum's the word.....

Skeeps, that way is fine....but as Hedge said...not good if you have to bring it into another drawing, or bring another drawing into it.

Ooops...forgot.....shhhhhh

Yes gotcha I see the implcations, however I have silly engineers who are jumping up and down. I've passed my drawing on and it's sitting on his desk....not even looked at it so obviously in a rush for that wasn't he?!

Just pray he doesn't hand it back to you for revisions and additions......mwhahaha

Still love the avatar......god...I better shut up now......we're in a technical thread.....woot

LOL
No worries... this isn't a "stuffy" site... where the "Mods" have their nose up in the air...
In the end... if the thread got hijacked... I would just split the thread into here and the "Lounge"...


By the way..

I would've used...

"mvsetup" > align> rotate viewport...
