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

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

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

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

It actually makes sense now! Thank you!

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!!!

Very good tip, useful method too. Thanks

Thank you, such a nice trick

this is so helpful, thank you!

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

You're the best!! :)

Thank you Miss Lynn...

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

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.

very nice tip

omg thank you soooo much!!

Thank you so much

Loved it

Life saver!!!

thanks you are awesome

Thanks!

thank you soo much

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.

i like it thanks

good tip

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

Great tip go Broncos!!!!

💪👍

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

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

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.
