when I import a step file into solidworks, to create a drawing
the model comes in every which way, how can i line up the model so i get 3 standard views

After importing the STEP file;
Create a new Coordinate System (CS) at the origin of choice.
(

and orient the axes as needed.

Save as a parasolid file using the Save as Option to select the new CS.

When re-imported the parasolid will have the new CS set as the default.
