I am having trouble changing the orientation of the viewcube. I have tried using the "set current view as home" command with no luck. I would like to be able to see the plan view of my layout on the "top" view. How else can I do this without being able to change the viewcube? Any help is appreciated.
Oh, you made the mistake of setting your file orientation to "Default." This is a big beef of mine... Default turns your project sideways (of course).
Anyway, with your file open, click File Options on the Home tab and on the Orientation tab, set Up to X=0, Y=0, Z=1 and North to X=0, Y=1, Z=0. Of course, this used to be the default (as in the automatic and correct orientation) before you hit the "Defaults" button on the same tab...

Well, now that I have my plan view in my "top view" in the view cube, my UCS is incorrect, and my avatar is looking at the ground. Shouldn’t the view cube and the UCS coincide??
Well, apparently the reason that the Defaults button is screwy (for my workflow) is that different programs require different combinations of XYZ settings. I think the Defaults are correct for engineering programs like Inventor, while it turns my Revit models sideways. If you are using something else, you may need to play around with different combinations.

The way I solve this is the following: I create my own simple AutoCAD DWG file with a box of 1 meter square and 2 meters high. I start a new NWF "converting" file, append my DWG Then i append the other file and use "units and transform" in the selection tree to get it upright and in the right units. Than i save that as NWD and append that NWD in my real NWF
