Re-orient part? 1

[dj4244]

I added a tab and then two bends to my drawing. Everything looks ok but now my drawing is standing on it's nose. Is there any way to re-orient it so it's is viewed properly. It makes things confusing to keep it that way.

Yes, Open up the part and find the angle or face that you want to be the front view. Push the Space bar and the orientation menu pops up. Highlight front and click the middle telescope. That will update your views.

When in doubt, always check the help

Unless of course you already have a different function or macro "programmed" to use the Spacebar. Then of course you would click the View Pulldown and select Orientation...

Often when you add sketched bends to a sheetmetal part you catch the original point which specified your stationary surface. So the result is that the surface of the tab stays, and the main part bends up. Fix it by Edit Definition of the Sketched Bend, and make sure you select your stationary face on the side of the bend line that you want to stay flat.
