Floorplan Sections.dgnI have a building model (from a customer) that is rotated by 8.335°. So I have created a ACS accordingly. With the ACS "BAU" active an ACS Plane Lock ON I rotate to T for Top
To create Floor Plans etc. I place Plan Callouts (for Groundfloor, Fist Floor, Raised Floor) So I rotate my View to the current ACS front and place a Plan Callout
The resulting Callout goes along the Global Coordinates not the ACS or the according View that I had rotated to. Why?
Any Line drawn in the same front view (the red line) follows the Views Rotation
Link for the file Floorplan Sectioon.dgn plus references (I tried to reduce the size of the buidling file but finally have to provide the Link)
I have been able to replicate the issue reported. It appears that when switching coordinates systems the plan callout uses the old, unrotated, acs.
Because the angle between the 2 coordinates systems is small its hard to notice when in front view that its using the global acs. I was able to workaround the issue by using the accudraw shortcut to rotate to the view rotation to align it correctly to the desired orientation.
I will test further and report file a bug with development.

Thank you David,
exactly that. It is often hard to see the AccuDraw Coordinate system that is rotated. 8.335° rotation is not a "slight" rotation.If development is on this they may want to review the workflow. If you define a ACS it should rather "replace" the GCS for the time being (the GCS is (mostly) irrellevant while working in such a model) In this respect it is questionable that one requires to "ACS Plane" Lock in the first place(?) I am often "loosing" the ACS orientation and have to activate it again and again. That is also quite annoying
One has to setup all kinds of bells and whistles to get going. e.g. why does the ACS dialog not show the rotation of my "Building rotate" ACS?
Hi David,
Is there any progress with this issue?
