I am working on a drawing, and I need north to be rotated 02-15-14 degrees. This is so the lot will plot parallel with the top of the page.
I have been searching, but cannot seem to locate it. It's late, and I am beat. Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
I found the twist screen. I would like to rotate the north orientation, to keep the lot square with the sheet for text purposes.
Thanks
If you're using embedded Acad and paperspace, try mvsetup from paperspace then align, then rotate view then you pick a base point and eyeball the rotation or key in a value. Not sure if this works in Icad.
Edit: I like this method because North stays up the page in modelspace only the view in paperspace is rotated. I used to use a command in LDD that rotated the coordinate system in modelspace but I found that it caused problems if someone opened the drawing in something besides LDD.
In MODEL SPACE, type "TWIST3" in the dialog box and hit enter.
Then type the azimuth you want to set as horizontal (92.1514).
Thanks guys, these worked okay for this one.
I was wondering if there was a way ot actually twist the orientation for true north in Carlson. In this particular case, I had a drawing tha I had drafted up with one rotation. After some additional calculations, we found some more monumentation, and needed to keep the lot as drawn, but rotate my north orientation by 02-15-14 degrees, to keep the lot square with the paper.
I don't think I did too good of a job explaining.
Thanks again for the help.

So you needed all of your calls to change by 02-15-14 degrees? I know of a few ways to get from here to there but I don't know of command that will do it for you.
Not exactly sure about what you're doing, but you can draw a line on that rotation, and then
View/Twist Screen/Line, Polyline or Text
Use twist screen polyline it will rotate the drawing to the line or for that matter your border , North will adjust accordingly . I use this on 90% of my work to get projects to fit most economically way in the border . Using the polyline you do not have to worry with angles of rotation it just snaps the view to the line . You need try the command to see what it will do .
I think the command you are looking for is BROT
You can do that with UCS.
