Hello! Does anyone know how to find the angle used in a 3d view? I would like to change the view exactly 90 degrees and dont know how to do this!  I have a predetermined angle, and want to turn my whole model 90 degrees to the right...

Go to a plan view and right click on the 3D view in the project browser.  Click show camera.  The view will show the camera position, which you can rotate like any other object.

Hi Tim123 - I'm not referring to camera views, I'm more referring to the Main 3D view (IE: when you click on the little house up in the top ribbon) - Is there a way to tell what the exact angle is of your drawing that way?  I know you can use the ViewCube to rotate and such, but say I'm trying to set up two views, one oriented exactly 90 degrees from the other, how do I know if I'm exact?!

Create ref planes perpendicular to your desired views (one per view) and name them. Go to your 3D view and hover over 3D cube, the icon will show in the location shown on the pic, click on it and pick Orient To Plane and pick your plane.
