Assembly is having wrong orientation. I need axes as encircled ones . Is there any way to change axes ?

"I build house on wrong street, can you move the city?"

Unground the only grounded part in assembly. Rotate or mate it properly to correct planes.

Hi! No, there is no way to get to such orientation. Inventor coordinate system follow Cartesian coordinate (right-hand rule). In your proposed orientation, the Z-axis would have to point downward, not upward.

Many thanks!
