Upload from Inventor to 360 view orientation

I using 360 when I want to share a model with a customer but I do all the design in Inventor

To upload the model to 360 I first convert it to a STEP file

Then I upload the STEP file to 360

In Inventor the view orientation is correct  like this

But when I uploaded the STEP file the model are on its back like this

So something is changed during this process

 

How should I do to get the model in correct orientation?

I can't find a way to change the orientation in 360 and save it

I don't understand why you are converting to STEP.

For your described need can't you simply use https://viewer.autodesk.com/

 

Autodesk Viewer | Free Online File Viewer

...alternatively - they could reset the view cube.

I don't understand why I need to convert either!

It does not work uploading a iam file.

 

What do you mean I should do from Inventor

 

You can't reset the view cube since when I leave the 360 it do not keep that view.

Our customer I can't learn how to do this

In Inventor an assembly file *.iam is merely a set of instructions on how to put the parts together.

You must also upload the parts (*.ipt files).

Upload the ENTIRE assembly, including the parts (or project folder).

Yes and that's why it is much more quicker to upload a STEP.

Alot easier for customer to download a STEP also since many have other 3D system
