Place a north arrow cell on a rotated view

Place a north arrow cell on a rotated view
If you've ever tried to place a cell (such as a north arrow) on a rotated view, you'll have noticed that it's placed relative to the view rotation. To overcome this, use the keyin
place cell absolute tmatrix
as shown below. Note that the cell is placed using it's original orientation and scale. and therefore disregards your active scale setting. Wiith thanks to
Rudi
for reminding me of the ancient trick. :-)
