Hi I was wondering if it is possible to have more than one project north in a project... My project consists of 2 buildings which are orientated at different angles. I need to produce plans for each of them, preferably all at right angle on page. I don't want to change the true north as shadow study and the orientation is important in this project. I gave, say the plan view for the builing 1 the project north but now I need to produce the 2nd plan and it's still at an angle . So I ended up having 2 files, one for each building and I've linked them together. 1st file (main file) is used as usual with the 2nd building "underlay" linked into it. I only use the 2nd building file (the linked file) for producing/printing the one plan drawing I need with the different project north than the main file one. I get the feeling there's a simpler way of doing it so any tips/comments will be appreciated! Thank you.

Did you know that you can rotate a view without rotating the project? So, you can have two buildings at differnt angles in the project but all the plans can still be normal to the drawing sheets.

Thanks WWHub, I gues this is an easyer way. At least we can keep the project in 1 file this way.

Thanks WWHub, but I though you can only rotate views at 90° (by going into its view property and clicking "rotate view on sheet) )not like say 27°? Or is there another way of rotating views?

There are two ways to rotate a view. - Rotating a View on a Sheet
- Rotating a View by the Crop Region
You can read about these in your HELP. Rotatinbg a view by crop region is backwards from what you would expect so it takes some getting used to.
