I want to rotate a multi-Layout so that certain lines print horizontally.
Does anyone have a step by step guide that they are prepared to share?

Hi Seasdes,
1. Have your drawing on the screen and zoom extents,
2. Go to Print/MultiLayout/Layout - this displays a MSP sheet ready for you to place the drawing info onto,
3. Pick S2 Rotate, enter an angle (say 90'), and move your crosshair onto the sheet, left mouse-click to place and enter a detail name to finish, - done.
4. If you toggle S5 Extents Only, this will show either a bounding box or the actual drawing info you're placing on the screen, depending whether it's on of off,
Hope this helps.

Thanks Mark.
I was trying to rotate the drawing 8 deg 20 min in a clockwise direction.
I was following your instructions and I couldn't get the rotation angle correct.
In a moment of madness I tried adding a minus figure in front of the angle (ie -8.20.00) and all seems to rotate as I would have expected.
Thanks again.
