orientating plans to true north in v13

Anonymous

The new orientation tool is great for rotating views so I can work on floor plans verticlly and horizontally but still keep the site plan so the building is true North BUT...

Some things such as section markers, electrical symbols with text orientate the text at the original angle (true north)

For presentation this looks slightly odd.

I'm not sure how earlier versions handled buildings at different angles to true north?

Thanks in advance for v13 answer

older versions? - they didn't
you just drew orthogonal wrt building and moved north point
or
drew building orthogonal and then hot linked into site file...
