Aligning assembly objects to straighten them
Do you mean to straighten it relative to its own origin? Or are you asking about straightening the drawing view of a model that is already properly aligned with its origin?

For a part model, be sure that sketches are fully constrained and that the initial feature is aligned with the origin axes and constrained to the origin center point.
For an assembly model, assuming that parts are modeled as above, then the simplest method is to right click and choose "Place grounded at origin" while placing the first or base component:
If the component is already placed, then use the Ground and Root tool in the Productivity panel to move it to the assembly origin:

Right-click the component in the assembly and make sure it is NOT grounded first:
Then, make smart choices when constraining the component to other components, or to the assembly's origin planes (make them visible if that helps):
If for some reason you still need to rotate solids within the part itself, that is not ideal but you can use Direct edit and Rotate:
Just keep in mind that the drawing also allows you to select a view and pick any custom orientation (or current model orientation):
Hi Muhammad,
If I understand your question correctly, you would like to move or rotate parts within an assembly. You may create constraints or joints. Or you may use Assemble command or GripSnap command to relocate the parts. Your request is a bit vague. If possible, please share the files or a screenshot here.
Many thanks!
