FS#1915 - Viewport does not rotate view-port when changed in paper space
To reproduce
1. Select a new view-port in model-space
2. Select the appropriate paper-space
3. When the paper space opens change the angle of the viewport.
Actual
The object in the viewport changes but the viewport itself remains unchanged
Expected
That both the view-port and the object changes angle as the angle is updated
Motivation
If you abort the placement (but keep the angle) and go back to model-space and then redo the operation the view-port is rotated along the angle. It seems that the viewport only picks up the initial angle once the paper-space is open and ignores any changes thereafter
Workaround
1. Select the view-port per normal in model-space
2. Open the paper-space and set the wanted angle but do not place the view-port in paper space
3. Abort the placement on paper-space and redo the whole operation
Once the paper space is opened again the view-port will have the chosen angle
I've changed this to a suggestion. This somewhere between a limitation of the user interface and expected behaviour. The angle refers to the angle of the contents. This is unrelated to the angle of the rectangular box that defines the viewport.
Perhaps the angle property can be removed once in the layout to prevent the user to make such a change at that stage.
