Hi,
I have an architectural plan that is rotated 9 degrees. I'd like to be able so place a grid over the plan to work out an ideal column spacing.
Is there a way of rotating the inbuilt grid and also possibly having it start at a point of my choice?
Or is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks in advance
Dave

Re: Is there a way to rotate grids
Hello pigeondave,
I am afraid that the Grid cannot be rotated. This is a visual cue and it cannot be modified in any way.
If you would like to align your document's content with the Grid, you need to rotate the content. You can do this by selecting all objects you would like to rotate and go to Selection -> Transform. Regards,

Re: Is there a way to rotate grids
Hi Radi,
Thanks for getting back to me.
The trouble is that the base pdf is not selectable. But what you've shown is useful to know.
I'm drawing over the base pdf as part of my markup. Is there a way of rotating this? I seem to only be able to rotate sheets 90degrees at a time.

Dave

Hello pigeondave,
The pages can be rotated only with 90 degree increments. This follows the PDF specification and it cannot be changed.
You can rotate your annotations using the same method I described with my previous post.
You mentioned that the base document is not selectable - this shouldn't be the case if you use the Edit tool.
Can you provide a sample file so we can check it for you? If the file contains sensitive information, please do not post it here. In this case, please e-mail it to us at support@pdf-xchange.com
