Toggle thru orientations when placing to-be-grounded 1st part

[kstate92]

I always check the option to auto-ground the first part when creating an assembly (though this user option still becomes randomly unchecked).  But depending on how the first part I place was modeled, the orientation selected by the program may not agree with what I wanted (i.e., part Front may not match Assembly Front).

It would be nice to be able to toggle thru all the possible principle plane orientations during (or after) placing the component while preserving the parts' grounded status.  I may be missing a trick, but it appears the only way to re-do a grounded component now, is to un-ground, constrain, and re-ground and unconstrain.  Being able to do the equivalent of Alt-Tab thru all the possible orientations would save some time.  As an aside, I wonder if this issue is why some folks don't like the auto-ground option.

There is an easy way to change the view orientation by redefining the Top or Front View;

I hope this will help you...
