Issues stemming from use of MVSETUP

[jb22]

In AC2004, how do you restore or undo the settings that seemed to have changed when I used the MVSETUP command on a viewport?

All that I wanted to do was to rotate the images in the viewport 180 degrees - this was one of two ways that AC2004 Help suggested I do this. The first was to change the UCS in the viewport, which did not work. So I resorted to this, and it has rotated those images, but with some consequences. Amongst other things that have changed, I have to re-select OSNAP every time I try to select an object, the viewports aren't selectable so I can't lock the viewport, etc. At this point, I'm happy to undo any subsequent changes I've made to drawing content - I just want to undo the MVSETUP. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi jb22,

I'm not sure I follow - but you can just keep hitting the undo command until you've undone it.

are you doing 2D or 3D drawings? Also,are the viewports in MS or PS?

jb22,

you did rotate the view in the layout inside the viewport with "_mvsetup". Right?
If yes, you want to rotate back. Right?
So rotate it back to 0 with 0. This command works absolut to the modellspace, not relative to the current rotation.

Hope, I am right...

changing the UCS should work very easily, just make sure to use the "plan" command to view the new UCS that you create.
