Hello CsiokNCI, if you want your layout rotation to be good, set an UCS in accordance with the view that you want and then use the command PLAN with your viewport opened and your view will rotate to the good angle.
If you set UCSFOLLOW to (1) instead of (0) the rotation will happen each time you set a new UCS ( can be exhausting for your eyes ).

Yeah I have the LT versino because I work in the field.  And I don't create CAD drwaings, my work involves just the manipulating of whats already there.  The plan/world command works good, it brings my model to true north.  However, I actually don't want it orientated to true north.  My model is rotates and the layout is in true north.  I need to get my true north in (layout) to be rotated to the way it is in (model).  Thanks for the help so far]]> Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:10:13 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=8774&PID=22445&title=orientation-model-space-layout#22445 <![CDATA[Orientation model space/layout : the DVIEW command was removed...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=8774&PID=22440&title=orientation-model-space-layout#22440 Author: ABUSAIF

the DVIEW command was removed from AutoCAD LT. To work around this limitation, you can change the user coordinate system (UCS) to the angle you want, and then use the PLAN command to rotate the viewport.

Working on a civil dwg in model space.  My layout page is all set to go with title block.  However, the orientation of the drawing in my layout viewport is different than the orientation im working with in model space.  How do I get my layout view to match the orientation of my model?
