Hi everyone,
I was wondering:
_ Is there a way to change the origin reference in Capture ?
_ would it be possible to change the front/top/side view from world reference to a fixture/object reference ? For instance if I want to create a plot for a truss tower that has been rotated but have a Front view of it ( hope make myself clear ). Like in Vectorworks … I think it is called plane view or screen view.
Thanx.

What you ask is possible with the camera tool "Swing to selection" (Ctrl+4). Unfortunately, in the plot menu, you may use only the predefined appearance types. A workaround would be to enable plot mode in a view where you have used the swing tool and choose to the save image.
