Align Objects; Viewport Rotation Tools - Autodesk AUTOCAD LT 2010 Tips And Tricks Manual

Align Objects

A much-requested tool by AutoCAD LT
customers, the Align command enables
you to simultaneously move, scale, and/
or rotate one or more objects to bring
them into alignment with another object.
When aligning objects, you can pick one,
two, or three pairs of points as refer-
ences. Using one pair simply moves the
selected objects. Using two pairs of
points will move and rotate the objects,
with the option to scale the objects
based on the relative distances between
the source and destination pairs. Choos-
ing three pairs of points will move and
rotate the selected objects in 3D space.

Viewport Rotation Tools

The new VPROTATEASSOC system
variable enables you to choose whether
a layout viewport's view is rotated along
with its boundary. When it's set to 0, the
view within the viewport will not rotate,
even though the viewport itself does. If
you set VPROTATEASSOC to 1, the view
will rotate to maintain its orientation
relative to the viewport.
