AutoCAD Tutorial – How to Link a North Arrow to a Viewport Dynamically – 2 Minute Tuesday

Brandon

It’s Tuesday and as you probably already know, that means another Tuesday Tip x 2 Minute Tuesday post!!

I know I mention it each week but I feel like it’s worth the recap since we have quite a few new readers lately, earlier in the year I partnered with the AutoCAD Blog to produce some of my favourite CAD Tips as Tuesday Tip articles along with an accompanying Two Minute Tuesday Video that gets posted to my youtube channel.  You can see the full list of my articles on the AutoCAD Blog here, and check out the videos on my channel here: youtube.com/c/cadintentions.

In this weeks article, I wanted to feature one of my favourite tools from the Map 3D toolset that is available with your AutoCAD subscription.

One of the great benefits to the newer subscription model of AutoCAD is the addition of a wide variety of specialized toolsets like Electrical, MEP, Map 3D, and more. As a civil designer, Map 3D is my go-to toolset of the group and with it comes a whole selection of great additional features. Today, I wanted to highlight one that I use on almost every drawing I produce: dynamic north arrows!
