Problem

Using RA(Rotate ACS) AccuDraw shortcut to rotate drawing plane. Cannot pick data point for rotation, MicroStation pick the last point the compass used. How can this be changed where the data point can be picked?

Solution

In the tool settings uncheck the "Use Current Origin" box, this causes the drawing plan origin to used as the x-axis origin, thereby eliminating the need to enter extra data point.
