The Rotated Plan View command rotates the plan view, and any associated entities, by a specified angle. This comes in handy when you need to create rectangles or cubes that are not parallel to the XY axis. It is also useful to rotate the view when you have imported an aligned CAD drawing. This allows you to place entities, such as luminaires, in a more convenient manner without having to calculate complex angles. The contents of the View are automatically Zoomed to Extents++ after the view is changed.
- From the View menu choose Plan-Rotated
- Locate the first point of the rotation line and click the left mouse button. If the rotation angle is known, you may enter it (from the keyboard) at this time instead of clicking the first point.
- Drag the cursor along the desired rotation angle and left click again.
