It's the other way around, the model space in the one I'm copying to has been rotated 90 degrees.
How do you rotate the entire model space?

I can, give me five.
Looking at the UCS on the drawing, it is actually wrong in terms of x and y.

Right, here's the xref:
Here's the xref when put into this drawing:
It's the same even if you copy and paste it in.
As you can see the UCS is different I'm just unsure of how to rotate it.

No one knows how to fix this one then?

It's not the XREF though, it's anything I paste from anywhere.
I've just opened another drawing and it's like it. I hate this site.
It just needs the whole lot rotating 90 degrees anti clockwise.
EDIT: Found the solution:
Set UCSFOLLOW to 1
The UCS>Z>angle you wish to rotate.

Right Need help, trying to teach my self Autocad, to make a sunroof blank and hit a dead end lol
So basically ive made a rectangle 540mm x 835mm with a 60mm radius... thats taken me 20 mins lol
Ive oversized the panel 50mm (25mm each side)
Then ive offset a line 12.5mm inside the panel... this is where i would like rivits... 12.5mm from the edge.
How do i now do 3mm holes equally spaced around that line?

Just use array
Draw your first circle at the size you want, grab it by the centre point and move it 10mm from the edge or whatever, then do 10mm array, but only 1 column, however many rows, alternatively you can copy and paste with set gaps, using one item as a relative point to the next.
Massively hard to explain sorry, if I was local I'd offer a free lesson.

Also, change the box at the top from 3d modelling to drafting or whatever, you'll get a lot more toolbars.

If you go into the different drawing space like I said, you should be able to click through and you SHOULD get prompts in the command box to help you along.
Weeman sucks ****
Or do it the old school way and draw a circle at the size you want use as a guide. Obviously it won't be accurate through curves but still another process.

Select them, click tools, click ungroup?
Rob
ClioSport Moderator
Try Ctrl+Shift+A or type "group" at the bottom and see if there's an option come up for ungroup.
Didn't realise you were running 2006.

I resolved all my issues, pretty sure I posted how?
Andy, send me it, I'll ungroup and send back? Lol!
Oh, don't tell me you've not dealt with blocks yet? Such an important part of CAD. Look up making a block, editing a block, exploding a block. Should give you all you need.
P.s didn't mean to sound like a wanker, it's just such a big thing'

It's not union, it's create block.
You have to select all the items you want in the block, then make block, then select the pick point.

Right, I'm saving a drawing from AutoCAD to a landscape PDF, but when the PDF initially opens up it is portrait in orientation.
The actual document is landscape in format but is always initially opens up in portrait then you have to rotate it to view it as landscape. I need to upload my drawing to an online system and the PDF needs to landscape for it to accept it.
Hope taht makes sense - can anyone help?

more autocad woes...
after trying and failing multiple times to subtract solid B from solid A, i notice solid B didnt extrude properly;
I went about making a solid extrusion by making polylines, joining them etc which has worked up to now, but when i extruded solid B only the lines extruded, it didnt actually turn it into a solid... does anyone have any pointers as to make an extruded line shape into a solid?
ignore that
the shape wasnt closed.
f**k

anyone on here heard of the BIM (Building information model) system. One of my customers has brought it up saying that all projects from 2016 that are publicly funded will have to use this system?

Right, so I'm a pretty damn efficient 2D cad user, working with building plans most of the time, I never stray into 3d.
So, my holding down shift and using the middle mouse, I've gone into 3D, (deliberately, as I'm currently designing a drip tray).
So, I held shift, entered an isometric view, and did some bits and bobs. My question, is stupidly simple but I've never done it before, how do I now return to the "flat" view from above say?
EDIT: Sorted, just view>named views> top.
