How can i attach a rotated model file into the title block with the same orientation?
I used rotate view and it should look like this:
But when i attach it to my title block using reference attach it shows the original orientation of the model instead of the rotated orientation that i would like to show.
Hi Andrew,
I'm using Microstation V8i (SELECTseries 3) Version 08.11.09.714
I rotated the model using rotate view and looked like this:
But when i attach it to my titleblock in sheet model, it goes back to its original orientation:
I need to insert it to look like the first picture.
after you attach the reference file, rotate it (rotate reference) and not the view.

Not so good of an advice. Only rotate or move the reference if you don't need georeferencing.
I once did as Tim suggested (plus I moved the reference, supposedly only a few meters). A couple of weeks later a surveyor phoned me and asked if he really was supposed to drive all the way to Siberia (instead of staying in Hamburg, Germany).
user never mentioned geo-referencing. Don't confuse the user.
They also mentioned it did not align with the title block.
The user has two choices. Either rotate the title block to align with the reference, or rotate the reference to align with the title block.
If they are attaching multiple references and need these to line up, then rotating the title block might be easier. If it is only one file, then either one can be rotated.
Wouldn't a correctly rotate saved view be easier? If there are multiple files that need to line up then just copy the reference and reset to point at the other file/s.
not everyone is familiar with saved views
And saved views can save more than just view rotation, which could be an unwanted complication.

Or a bonus depending on what you need .

I'm not sure that's a very good basis for making recommendations on a workflow. Taken to its logical conclusion you wouldn't use any of the features of the software.
I disagree. I am recommending the workflow based off of what the user has provided.
Based on what you have suggested, and taken to its logical conclusion, then they should be using drawing composition as this will link the saved view back to the referenced model and be synchronized.
Saved view works fine, the problem is when i turn off a layer inside the model, the attachment in the titleblock won't update unless i re-attach the saved view.That's why i'm asking if there's a way to attach it as reference not as saved view, so when i make changes inside my model, i can just use RD= to update the contents of my drawing in my title block.
Cheers.
