Rotating a Drawing on the Page

You can rotate the survey on the page so that the drawing better fits the page. The page itself can be in landscape (wide) or portrait (tall) mode. Once rotated, you can still drag-n-drop the survey anywhere on the page.

Choose Tools | Rotate Survey on Page
TPC uses the center of the drawing as the rotation point. As you move the cursor about this point, the survey will roate
You can hold down the Shift key to switch to Fine mode for greater control over the exact rotation amount.
Left click the mouse to end the rotation.

Alternate Method

Choose Tools | Drawing Settings.
Left click the Miscellaneous tab.
Enter the Rotation value you want and choose OK.

When you save a survey, each drawing stores its own rotation value along with the other drawing settings.

Survey Space vs. Paper Space/B>

When you rotate a drawing, only the survey objects are rotated, and they are rotated about the center of the survey. If you rotate a paper space text object, for instance, it rotates only by the amount specified for the object. If you rotate a survey space text object, it rotates by the amount specified for that object plus the drawing rotation.

Rotating Objects with the Drawing

Objects like north arrows can be automatically rotated to match the drawing rotation.

Right click any object and turn on the Apply Drawing Rotation toggle. Any rotation angle specified for the object will be added to the drawing rotation.
