Resetting the Home View

[doktorinjh]

I can't seem to find a way to reset the home view point for my model and everytime it exports, it is looking from the bottom up, which causes several issues in PDF and DXF form. Is there a way to swap the XYZ axis or to create a vantage point when exporting?

Thanks for any help!

Rotate the model so that the view is aligned as desired relative to the coordinate system. Or use one of the "Predefined Views".

Click on the "Rotate Object" button and position the model to the desired view. The model

Save.

The model that I'm working with has the Z axis inverted (pointing down from the X and Y intersection) and so that is how it exports to PDFs and DXFs (the ones I've tried). Both the PDF and DXF open to look at the underside of the model, which is inconvenient for the end user, but the DXF can't even be rotated to look down onto the model (the limits of rotation are reached). So, is there a way to define the XYZ planes?

Saving the model, as suggested, saves that view in PS, but it doesn't register when it exports.

Thanks!

Click on the "Rotate Model" button and rotate the model until the model is aligned as desired with the coordinate system. The model coordinate system which is used when the model is exported will be changed. Note that this is different than rotating the model in normal viewing mode.

That was the ticket! Thank you!
