I have not been able to get this to work in Revit 2012 -- whenever I follow these steps the Rotate icon in the Modify panel is always greyed out.
It appears that this help page has not been changed since Revit 2011 (or possibly earlier), yet something seems to have changed in the software for this help to now not be applicable.
Any chance someone could help clarify how to rotate a (plan) view in Revit 2012 please... thanks in advance.
