redefine isometric

I don't know what I did, but I somehow redefined my isometric view to some
odd configuration. Is there a way to get back the default isometric view
configuration?

1/ Pick the rotate command
2/ Rotate the view until you're close to what you want.
3/ Hit the space bar to bring up the glass cube.
4/ Pick the desired corner of the cube and the view will align itself
5/ RMB and choose Redefine Isometric

Thanks Richard,

But I still can't get back to the factory original default iso view though.

Thanks Richard I appreciate your sharing! That's been simmering on my
backburner for a couple years.

All you had to do was ask. 😉

Do as Richard said until the UCS icon has the green arrow pointing up, blue arrow pointing down-left, and red arrow pointing dodwn-right.

Is it possible that I re-oriented my assembly off
of the x,y, z coordinate system?

Yes, that is possible. Try ungrounding your first assy component and use assy constraints to the default origin planes to re-align your assembly. You might have some constraint problems on your other parts depending on how you constrained your assembly.

If you used the rotate component command within the
assembly and selected the first component you originally placed, it would appear
as if everything in your assembly was "off kilter".

 

The assembly move and rotate component commands
behave as follows:

 

- if the component is constrained, the move is
temporary and the components will "snap back" to their constrained positions
when the assembly is updated/solved

 

- if the component is GROUNDED the move is
"permanent" and any components which were constrained to the grounded component
will adjust themselves accordingly following a resolve

 

As has been mentioned, using constraints you can
easily get your first component aligned with the assembly's origin planes (which
is how it is placed initially).

Ding ding ding!  Give that man a teddy
bear!  I had ungrounded the first assy component(dont ask).  I
reconstrained it to the correct axes and as you speculated, everything in the
assembly spazzed, but at least I've got the correct orientation
back.

 

Thank you everyone.

LOL, a teddy bear? I was hoping for something more along the lines of a cigar or a drink or something a bit more "MANLY". But a teddy bear huh? Guess I'll take him home and shoot him with my 357 mag while I puff on a cigar, drink a beer, and do the Tim Allen grunt. B-)



Just kidding. You're welcoime Jerry.
