&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Problem&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Error with automatic rotation of dimension text in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When&amp;nbsp; rotating a view, dimensions display as if oriented to the wrong view.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Solution&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MicroStation dimension elements will read the rotation matrix of the view in which it was placed and display relative to that view&amp;#39;s current rotation. That is, if you place a dimension in Window 1 while in the Top View and you look at the dimension in Window 2&amp;#39;s Top View, the view appears the same. If you then rotate Window 1 to a Front View, the dimensions in Window 2 appear as if they were rotated to a Front View-they look like lines. You can change the active view to which a dimension refers by using the change dimension view command.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To determine from which vie w a dimension reads its rotation, use the Analyze Element tool (Element&amp;gt;Information) Scroll down in the Element Information text window. You&amp;#39;ll note a line that has the scale at which the dimension was placed, and then the view&lt;br /&gt;to which it refers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To change this view:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create a selection set of dimension elements you wish to change Key in change dimension view # (where # represents the new view from which you want the dimension to read its rotation) Enter a data point to accept the command&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
