Orienting object view

[Murdug]

Hi folks,

Can you use something like the "Look At" tool to orient a surface parallel to the screen AND then choose to have another surface face towards eg. the right? Are there some orientation tools available? I have an imported component which comes in at a random orientation and I can set the new FRONT view, but the component still leans over to the side. I need a second reference before it's in a suitable orientation.

You can use the align tool to alight the component to the origin. Then ground that component.

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. That will work just fine!
