A strip plan is a Paper Space Layout (in this case an A0 sheet), which follows the road along (changing Plan UCS as it goes per viewport so that it tracks along the drawing of the windy road) from a chosen start point to a chosen end point (lets say from Roundabout 1 to Roundabout 2 5km away). I am generating Strip Plans Sheets for a Road management Company. Hello – This may be slightly Complex and hopefully there is a command that will help me: To switch back to your normal UCS and rotate you view to match: In the command line you will see options and one should say just hit to accept this option and your plan-view will now rotate to match the “current” UCS. To rotate the view to match the new UCS angle: You can work this way and Ortho will draw lines accurately lined up with this new angle, but you may start to tilt your neck or got sick of the way it looks.

The 3rd click specifies which side of the new X axis will the Y axis be facing.

This drawing was done before I knew how to rotate the UCS and match the view of the screen. The drawing shown above has about 1/3 of the plan in an angle other than the 90 degree angle that makes drafting easier. If you’ve had a drawing that isn’t completely based around 90 degree angles, this tip will halp you from tilting your head and straining you neck…
