2D Detail Center - Anchor Plan Skewed - SS6 (ver:8.11.11.55) for AutoCAD

Hi all,

I got a question concerning extraction for base plate location (anchor plan). Due to the actual position of the plant the models are rotated some degrees from the X-Axis.

Extraction of plan views at different elevation they come out perpendicular to X-Axis but when it come to Anchor Plan (only), the result is the following (see image below).

Please advise.

  • Hi, yes Its true, as you say, views don´t scale the anchors extra, you need the anchor plan view.

    So the video show nearly the solution, but instead of an view, change the UCS like in the video and draw an extra work frame using the turned new UCS, and use the anchor plan of the secondary work frame. that will give an alligned plan

  • Hi Enzo,

    Is this how you want it?



  • If out of a new view, it does not do exaggeration to the scale needed. I have try that already.
  • Hello, I have overseen your question here. Don´t assign the view anchor plan to a detail style, create a new view and assign that view to a detail style containing the right settings for an anchor plan.

    Hi Enzo,

    If you have the Grids turned 90 degrees then keeping the elements skewed then the columns will no longer match with the Grids is that right?

    Hi Roger,

    When I said 90 degrees is only for the extraction, the model is as the file i posted. Today i looked the image you posted, looks like you used the BOTTOM view yo have what you are showing on the image.

    I have to be able to extract ANCHOR PLAN usind skewed buildings (with workframe included). Why I insist on the ANCHOR PLAN is because we are using exaggerated.

    Attached I included the Detail Style I am currently using, so that you can give it a try and feed me back with more info.

    Thanks Roger.

    PS: rename the file and change the extention to ".stx", bentley site doesn't leave me upload the detail style file
