When working with AutoCAD, it's important to be able to view your drawing from different angles. One way to do this is by using viewports and rotating them to get the desired perspective. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps on how to rotate viewport in AutoCAD.
First, open the AutoCAD drawing that you want to work on. If you don't have one already, create a new drawing.
Create a viewport in your drawing by using the "Viewport" command. This can be done by clicking on the "Layout" tab and then selecting "Viewport" from the "Layout" panel.
Activate the viewport by clicking on it. You can tell that a viewport is activated when it has a blue border.
To rotate the viewport, use the "UCS" command. This can be done by typing "UCS" in the command line or clicking on the "UCS" icon in the "AutoCAD Ribbon".
With the UCS command active, type "Z" and then "E" to set the rotation angle. This will allow you to rotate the viewport around the Z-axis. Enter the angle that you want to rotate the viewport by and then press "Enter".
Exit the UCS command by typing "UCS" and then "Exit". This will take you back to the normal view.
Finally, save your work by using the "Save" command or by clicking on the "Save" icon in the "AutoCAD Ribbon".
Rotating the viewport in AutoCAD is a useful tool when working on drawings. With these easy steps, you can easily change the perspective and view your drawing from different angles. Don't be afraid to experiment with different rotations to find the best angle for your project. Happy drawing!
