Custom front view isnt reflected in the dwg file.

Ok im new here hello guys.

So anyway down to business.

Ive been using inventor for around 2 months now and its all been going good... ive recently done a rather complex assembly that id rather not redo... unfortunately... i ungrounded the base part fiddling with it trying to find a working constraint set for my needs (evenly spaces cylinders on a base plate and a centered on a mounting plate... i ended up using holes and the cylinders screw holes to align them but still this was AFTER i messed it up)

So now because of that the default view is skewed by roughly 45 degrees or so... now i have set the front view manually to reset the ground plane.... but if i stick this in a dwg as front its as if i did nothing... and yes i have triple check to make sure ive set the front view.

If anyones got any ideas on how i should go about doing this then shoot... if my only option is to recreate it... then i guess thats what im going to do.

Forgot to mention i am very computer literate (being young has its perks)

So dont be afraid to give it to me straight without dumbing it down... if i can write tutorials on how to code video game automation software i think i can handle this 😉

And yes i have dabled in ilogic so if theres a solution there (i doubt it considering what we are talking about here) then i should be able to figure it out if you point me in the right direction.

If the "base-part" is still ungrounded, then the easiest would be to make visible the "Origin Planes" and then constrain the assembly to the origin planes in a method that makes logical sense to the assembly. This will correct the alignment issue. You can then ground the base part (or any part) and delete the constrains to the Origin Planes if you wish.

If the base part (or one of the other parts within the assembly) are grounded, then simply "un-ground" them prior to constraining to the Origin Planes.

By default Inventor grounds the first part placed in a new assembly. You can also use the Origin Planes of the Part to contrain to the Origin Planes of the Assembly as well.

Yeah i know about the default ground thats actually what i managed to screw over 😛

Anyway im mostly self taught (i spent maybe a week watching how to videos from TEDCF for a 2009 version for my 2012 inventor.... then dived right in :P) and ive never run into these origin planes before (unless you mean xy yz xz etc in that case i know exactly what your talking about)

So if its not the planes i mentioned above then care to point me in the right direction (i dont want to be told out right... otherwise how would i learn right :P)

This is not the solution i just misclicked.

But yes blair i got it fixed and now i know the xyz axis planes as origin planes... learn something new everyday 😛

I made the solution far to complicated and missed such a simple idea *Facepalm* youd think i would know by now.
