Align object's pivot to object's orientation

[kenc]

I have a DXF from Softplan that I import into max. When the objects come in they all have the same pivot rotation orientation. I then center the pivots to each object's center as seen in image1.jpg

What I need to do is by maxscript is to align the object's pivot to the object's orientation. In image2.jpg the pivot for an object does not align with the object but rather at 45 degrees.

In image3.jpg this is how I need to rotate the pivot to align with the object.

Help would be much appreciated.

TIA
