If you are working on a drawing which contains several areas not at right angles to one another, you’ll need a seperate UCS (User Coordinate System) for each. Try this quick and easy way of switching between UCS’s:

Type ucsfollow and make sure the number is set to 1.

Click on the UCS object button or type UCS followed by “O”

Now click on any line which is parallel to the new X axis you wish to establish.

The UCS and view will immediatly spin round to be at right angles to the line. Just like rotating your drawing paper.
