View to plane - orientation
Hi,
I want to make a section view exported to 2D. I used to make it the following way:
1) switch on the given section
2) View --> Standard views --> View to plane, and I select the plane resulting from the sectioning
3) Export to 2D, add to list of exports, Create 2D drawing from current view.

It used to work fine, as long as I have sections aligned with the X, Y or Z axes. But if I have a section plane with a normal (-cos(15deg),sin(15deg),0), as in the file that I will send to support@varicad.com in a minute, then the 'View to plane' goes to a weird orientation of the axes, so I have to play with the Tools-->Predefined view settings to adjust the view according to my needs, which takes some time. What I would like is to rotate the view in the view plane, and possibly align a line/axis (which is in this view plane) to the X/Y axes of the screen. Is it possible?
Thanks
