Isnt this why we now use sheet models with title sheets refed in even if the view inside the title sheet is rotated the sheet border isnt ... it just like a piece of paper autocaders know this as view ports in their paper space model...

I’m not aware of the behavior changing. SS2 and the current CONNECT Edition (Beta) behave the same as SS3.

Thanks Todd, this is probably is best solution. I do recall an older version of V8i where by default, when using fit to element range, it would create it based on view rotation. Was this intentionally "fixed"?

I’m not aware of a way to automatically rotate the plot based on the view rotation when using “Fit to element range”.

Creating a saved view using the plot shape and then defining the View in the Print Style may be an option.

Unfortunately no, our spec requires everything to be bylevel.

Can one of properties (level, color, weight, style) of the plot shape be changed to make it unique?

Thank you for your respone. Setting the fence alignment ends up unrotating the view of the print. Define from shape does work, however we have multiple shapes on the same level, which cannot be changed due to spec, so this is not desirable.

Try using the Fence alignment = X axis or Y axis in the Main tab of the Print Style. If it does not help, use “Define from shape” rather than “Fit to element range”. You may also need to use a Fence alignment setting with this method.
