Rotate detail view with annotations in layout

Hello,

I need to rotate whole detail view by 90 deg including dimensions which are put on the layout. When i rotate the detail only the boundary rotate without the contents.

Hi Ivan -

That’s correct. Rotating the window in a house doesn’t rotate the world outside.
You can rotate the camera instead. When your dimensions are aligned dimensions (not simple horizontal or vertical dimensions), they will realign when deactivating the detail.

i have got a very complex detail view with myriad of annotations. it will get totally destroyed. i would need an elegant solution, selection detail view together with all the annotations on the layout and simply rotate 90deg.

Hi Ivan -

Please post or upload an example where the annotations are destroyed so that we can look into fixing bugs.

You could do it in two steps. Rotate the camera inside the detail and then manually rotate the annotations in the layout. You’d have to first disable “Update children” under History and you’d break all the history between the model and the annotations, but if you don’t need them to update live anymore, perhaps that’s not a big problem. I assume many of them aren’t linked anyway, hence why it gets “destroyed” (some rotate and some not after updating the detail)?

But of course depending on the annotation type and their settings, some will simply not survive a simple rotation in a useful way no matter what.
