I have an issue with my second floor plan view being slightly rotated.  I am not sure what angle the view is rotated but it's very slight (where would this information be displayed?).  My "UCS" is aligned but the view is askew, which means that when I try to rotate the crop region boundary (as I'm guessing this is how is got skewed to begin with), I have to know the angle that the crop region is at, so that I can type amount that into the command.  Thanks!

You really don't want to do it that way because of unit problems.  Instead, try this.

1. Rotate the view first so that it is not a small angle.
2. Draw a horizontal detail line across something in your view that should be horizontal
3. Click on the boundry and pick rotate
4. Move the rotation center to the intersection of your detail line and component that should be horizontal
5. Select the rotation from the horizontal to the component.

DONE
