Robin Capper made the observation in a post to the AutoCAD Architecture Forum that Multi-View Block References do not have an automatic property for Rotation, unlike Block References or MInsert Blocks. I was surprised to see that was true, but figured that a Formula Property would be able to get the value, if it is exposed.
A quick check using the “vlax” functions in AutoLISP verified that the Rotation property is exposed in the API. I have gotten a little rusty on the specifics of accessing data from the drawing in a Formula Property, but after a few searches of this blog, I had enough to refresh my memory and come up with this as the formula for a Formula Property in a Property Set Definition that applies to Multi-View Block References:
pi = 3.141592653589793238462643383
Set acadApp = GetObject(,"AutoCAD.Application")
Set mvbObj = acadApp.ActiveDocument.ObjectIDToObject( [ObjectID] )
RESULT = CDbl(mvbObj.Rotation * 180.0 / pi)
Before you create the Formula Property, add an…
