Change Drawing's Up Dir

[gmatelich]

I occasionally want to change the way I laid out a drawing in Anno. In this case I just want to change the Up Dir - I want to rotate the center (front) view 180°. Is there something I'm missing that allows me to do this?

Thanks

Left and right would swap

There's is no very easy way to do so. Normally changing the direction would like to lead to lots of dimensions and other stuff hanging around, because things will not match.

you can try by your own risk (and I would suggest only for simple views)

a) create new drawing with new MUST direction, using same model
aa) you would have viewset-old
ab) and now in addition viewset-new
b) create all (simple/standard) views in the same way
c) enable the migration tools via command line
(docu-enable-migration-tools), you'll get new menu in annotation at the bottom.
d) throw away new drawing
e) load old drawing again
f) for each view in old drawing
fa) -> choose "Detach View" to cut the connection (view will get red)
fb) -> choose "Attach View" to establish the new connection (view will get cyan)
when asked for '3D view' select the matching one in 'new viewset'
g) delete viewset old

results are not really predictable

I'm not really sure whether there have been already another thread with this question (not for drawing but for views, which basically the same) ??

Migration tools are part of the standard product and also documented, but not enabled in the UI by default. If this way doesn't help, CoCreate Support might know more about it.
