24b. Rotate Drawing in Model AutoCAD

How to Rotate Drawing in Model?

The possibility exists that you sometimes need to be Rotate and Drawing on the LAYOUT model before actually printing (in the Component). It may depend on the position of art so you need to rotate the visible part of the drawing to be fully fit in the visible component.

On that occasion should be marked North-South to be visible to the position of draw/objects. If you ever have the need to do the rotation when printing drawings follow up to see how it works.

Step 1.

Take, for example, we have a drawing in which we add direction indicator (compass) North-South. See the picture below.

So drawing is prepared and we need PLOT of Draw on paper in printer. I will not describe the procedure of Plotting, you have a tutorial on the link PLOT.

So we have the LAYOUT mode and in it we have a Component.

Step 2.

Now that we have prepared is a necessary Component to insert it into the box in which we import our drawing. We do this via the menu View => = Viewports> 1 Viewport

After selecting a command stretched rectangle in the internal Components, so we have this situation with the imported drawing added to the framework.

Step 3.

Our goal is to increase the part of the drawing the curved stairs to change his position that is rotated drawing for a 90° angle (or as desired)

Drawing enlarge it so that the switch from Layout mode PAPER MODEL in a time we will be inside the box (pictured blue color) bold and now we can zoom in and move the drawing. For more details about the PAPER/MODEL see link Components. and on this link you can see VIDEO.

Now, let's join the rotation of drawings by 90 ° to keep us could see the whole staircase.

Command: UCS [+ ENTER]

Current UCS name: * NO NAME *
Specify origin of UCS or [Face/named/Object/Previous/View/World/X/Y/Z/Z axis]
<World>: OB [+ ENTER]

Select object to align UCS: [here now need to be selected line by which to determine the rotation. Let's select the line showing the north, double click on it, first click on the full line and the second one of the ends of lines that enter bridle +]
Command:
Command: PLAN [+ ENTER + ENTER]

Enter an option [Current UCS/Ucs/World] <Current>:
Regenerating the model.
Command: '_textscr

Step 4.

Now we have this situation. Rotate the drawing. It only remains for us to increase the specific SCALE (or as desired).

 

What did we get this rotating action can be seen from the attached?
Let's take an example of geodesy, so you have to copy a copy of the cadastral plan, the particle you want to print out can not fit in a certain metric on the A4 paper. If you draw it then you can get the situation of the drawings that you can PLOT.

The above example is 90 °, because I accidentally chose drawing as it is. In further examples, see how to Rotate a desired direction at an angle.

The working principle is the same except that we can provide additional lines at angles that draw the same and later delete.

Step 5.

Additional lines we draw in Layout model, the desired angle, and when we come to the part where we need to select the object (see the commands in the above code: Select object to align UCS) these lines will be selected by which to determine the direction of rotation. Here we take into account that part of the line be selected (left or right, here I click on the clip by clicking on the second) because it will depend on the final result of the rotation. In the picture below you see a line that we selected is an auxiliary for the determination of rotation. It will eventually be deleted.

The line that we have temporarily added and selected when entering commands.On the image above, you can see where to click when selecting that second click (left endpoint or right endpoint).

The result (image above) after the action (in this case I selected a left side of the line). So stop with the initial drawings, we see that the drawing rotate approximately 30 degrees to the original position).

In the case of selecting the RIGHT grip (right part of the auxiliary lines) are drawing to rotate almost 210 ° degrees to the original position that is drawing in relation to the secondary line.

To better understand this position, see arrows direction North in the initial drawing and then after selection on the left or right.

To understand this fully, a little exercise with some drawing on which you have designated lines and edges (here the coordinate grows and you need to know). Only long-term exercise routine and you will get to know how and in what direction to draw an auxiliary line to rotate images in a desired direction and also for a number of degrees. To understand, you can be any line in the drawing use to rotate the drawing. You do not need to draw extra. However watch out for lines that are connected to Polyline or block, etc. (especially lines that are crooked or curved)

Finally, delete the auxiliary/helper Line and go to the Layout - PAPER mode and PLOT drawing.
