3 of 11 - If we need to draw aligned to an 'awkward' angle it's no problem. We spin our view around in a controlled way by altering which way our co-ordinate axes face - this is called UCS control. It's genius. This video also shows basics of controlling polylines - here we measure the area of a room and make the polyline have a different appearance to all other lines. That is useful for site boundary lines.
